That  dog could keep the family fed when things where tough I was told  . the dog was a proper thief with no respect for boundaries lol . One time so the story goes they stopped over night and the dog goes off on its own for a mooch . Next morning plod looking around the trailers  usual questions and said you ain’t got any lurchers have you ? No why’s that ? Oh there’s been a lurcher going about the village . When plod goes the dog comes out of the hedge with a duck in its mouth . They reckon it would hide if it see a policeman apparently the dog would take anything even a duck of the village pond lol 

I had one like that she often brought chickens back, and one day she came home with a joint of beef, my old man rinsed it off in the sink and made a right fuss of the dog lol.
