Wallace the Fire Dog

[HollowHorn]

I fear i may have been the individual who took Wallace away from his home and into Lanarkshire.

You bastard! How could you?

[HollowHorn]

Technically, my dad, he took it the headquarters, cos he knew i loved the dog and it's story so much, as a kid

Don't you go making excuses for him, it's way too late for that, I'm calling Esther Rantzen, she'll fix his barra.

Thanks doorstop, good to see him home in Glasgow.

Little bit of trivia - Wallace's collar is made from old fashioned Glasgow Fire Brigade officer's rank markings he would have worn on his shoulder(s), I've never noticed that before.

[Doorstop]

Ooh, interesting .. I'm hitting my brother with that one. See if I can catch him out.

.... nice to see the photo of him still alive with the men of College Street Station. I've only seen that once before, at a talk by Bob Wright on the Fire Service.
