Let’s be honest, we only buy gifts for the dog that are really for us. If I was to buy Thomas Frank his actual favourite things, it would be a block of cheddar, some old recently worn socks and his own portion of a full roast dinner. He’ll no doubt get all that, but I might also splash on on something from Liberty for him if I can get into town, and maybe even a Barbour jacket so we can match on our walks. Too much?
