Val lost her Scottie dog, Angus during the first Covid lockdown, leaving her with Miss Ziggy Stardust, who was a 3 year old baby Russian tortoise. Missing the patter of paws, she fell in love with Brock, who she picked on-line with the breeder from the litter before he had even opened his eyes. Brock is a Sealyham Terrier. The breed is called The Clowns of the terrier group and true to form, he makes Val laugh every day. He has the biggest personality and is so affectionate - everybody loves Brock! Brock is super-intelligent and makes observations on everyday life which are too good not to share! All the text in The Book of Brock was written by Brock in "Brock-speak", which is a unique language that Brock invented (and is being promoted by Brock because he is an entrepawneer). As you would expect with a unique language, any miss-spellings and errors are intentional because that's how Brock speaks and he does have the occasional paw-slip and he won't be told any different!
