Thanks for that. It is way too long since I read CotW and WF. I don't even seem to have copies in the house, so that's something I'll have to rectify next time I'm in a bookshop. I always identified more strongly with Kipling's Jungle Books, which, I guess, is at least partly down to my being tropical born and bred. The ice and snow were a little foreign. However, that the story should be told from the dog's point of view seemed perfectly natural.
