I sat in the vet’s waiting room this morning with my dog shivering in my lap. He’s in for a minor procedure, but when I handed him over to the nurse he looked at me like I suppose Caesar must have looked at Brutus.
He’s fine - don’t worry.
The trip to the vet got me thinking. Who (or what) is the most famous animal in history? Is it the wolf that suckled Romulus and Remus? Dick Whittington’s cat? Napoleon’s horse, Marengo, captured after his master fled Waterloo? Or maybe it’s a purely fictional creature like Renard the Fox (on whom I am going to do a full subscriber-only article in the next couple of weeks).
What do you think? As usual, I’ll round up the best answers on the podcast on Friday.
