It appears that in the latter half of the 1940s he had an Airedale Terrier called Tomka. As that particular breed originated in Yorkshire your sun-crazed mind wasn’t too far off.
I knew that, honest.

A woman writing about her life in the early 20th century, and a proposed job as cook, in Yorkshire:
"I could imagine Yorkshire. I visualized some spot right in the middle of the moors, and me stuck there with old Sir Walter and lady Gibbons [her employers].
I disliked the country in any case, for when you've seen one cow, or one tree, you've sent them all in my opinion. A cow's got four legs, a tree's got branches, but they don't do anything, do they?
I like talk, people and things that move around with a purpose."

You’re a hundred years out of date, David, and about ten weeks too early!
