I went for a walk at lunchtime today and very happily spotted a very smiley and handsome Bull Mastiff called Ali. Ali can be misunderstood; because he’s a big dog some people assume that he’s aggressive but he’s such a friendly softy, look at his smile! Ali lives with two tortoises who he loves loads! He nudges them around and one of them cuddles up to him at night; the other tortoise bites him from time to time though!
