Character 11 of 22

Toffee

Toffee needs a genuinely long run-up before he commits to a walk properly. Once he's committed, there is no stopping him. The same dog who spent five minutes deciding will happily go twice as far as planned.

The run-up is real. Toffee takes a genuinely long time to agree that a walk is happening, and then takes it considerably further than anyone planned. People who meet him on the way out and again on the way back describe two different dogs.

He is worth saving for a day you are not in a rush. The walk he turns into is the point of him.
