More about this story
An employed window struggles to keep her beloved ageing terrier, a gift from her late husband.
This story gave Christie the opportunity to indulge in her well-known love of dogs, particularly wire-haired terriers. She obviously had a huge affection for these creatures which comes out again in Dumb Witness, a novel which she dedicated to her own dog, Peter.
It was first published in book form in The Golden Ball and Other Stories, a US collection in 1971 and the UK collection Problem at Pollensa Bay in 1991.
