However, she has done a couple of new pictures of me to illustrate #1 K9 which are rather attractive—how do you like this one?
About me by Chewbacca the Great Gane
A people dog called Council Ranger came and took me to a place called ‘the pound’.
One day some nice people dogs came and took me to their place. The male pack leader’s name is Michael Gane, so from that day I became a member of the Gane pack. He called me Chewbacca. Daddy [Michael Gane] told Mummy that Chewbacca was a famous TV and movie star who was rescued by a human [people dog] so it was a good name to give a rescue dog. But usually they call me Chewy.
Mummy is called Jacqui or Lady Wombat. She is the female pack leader. I look on her as the Alpha dog.
It’s okay to be underdog in the pack—after all I am top dog in the canine or ‘real dog’ world.
My pack is the most important thing in the world to me. Sometimes my pack leaders go away forever and ever. They take me to a dog resort or pet motel. It's good to see other real dogs, but the alpha people dogs treat me as if I was just an ordinary, every-day, non-special dog. I miss taking Mummy for walks; I miss watching TV with Dad on my lounge; I miss Mum’s cooking and treats from the shops. But most of all I miss Mummy and Daddy and wonder if they are really going to come and take me home. Forever and ever is a long, long time but just when I’ve about given up—they come and collect me.
Of course I’m not scared of being abandoned [again]! And rumours that I am scared of thunder are just not true!
