    awww… sweet pic. I can see the “French Lieutenant” now, just patting his puppy in pride….

  • Maybe I should have called it ‘Faithful’ because probably not that many people have heard of the book – The French Lieutenant’s Woman.

    It’s not my sort of book, I will confess. But the title is very remminiscent of this scene I thought…..

    For some reason no one seems interested in this image though….. maybe it’s not that good?

    The eager expectation of return……..sigh

  • Maybe I should re-title it ‘Lost at Sea’ or ‘Seafarers Lost’…..

    Yearning?

    The book was ok, the movie was better, I just don’t remember the pooch.

    Must have been a different story.

  • The pooch was my ‘improvement’ to the story – and I suspect because the image reminded me of one particular cover of the book
