Dog Interview

Published on Thursday, June 5th, 2025

Recently, Dick’s elder daughter Juliet’s dog Fram was interviewed for the prestigious Tigger Club News, a magazine and website by animals, for animals. Here is the interview in full…

Tell me a bit about yourself.
My name is Fram. I am a lurcher crossed with a poodle. My dad is a white miniature poodle and my mum is a lurcher. I got my name because the village I came from is called Upper Framilode, in Gloucestershire, England.

Do you work? If so where/what do you do?
I am a dog of leisure.

What is your favourite type of music?
I like howling along to certain choral music!

If you could choose your name what would it be?
Not sure about that, but my owners have a variety of nicknames for me, including Hog, Hoggy, Piggington and many others!

What is your favourite food?
I absolutely love cheese, and sardines.

Have your humans taught you any tricks?
I can sit and lie down, and I can (mostly) wait to take a treat that is right in front of my nose until I am told to take it.

What is your favourite way to entertain yourself (annoy your humans)?
Barking at the cats.

What is your greatest accomplishment?
Being a very good boy, most of the time.

What is your next goal in life?
To explore the farthest reaches of the UK in a quest for new smells.

If you could be/do anything for a day, what would it be?
Get the zoomies with some of my doggy friends.

Finally and most importantly… What was your human’s most embarrassing moment?
Forgetting to give me breakfast. Unbelievable.

Incredibly, Tigger Tails is reading every single one of Dick’s stories, one-by-one! That’s well over 130 books!

You can check out lots of animal and book related stories on the Tigger Tails website!
