Re: Willoughby the dog
in reply to a message by Pie
Mary Poppins. In one of the books (ignore the movie at all costs) the children's neighbour Miss Lark owns a little dog named Andrew whom she spoils rotten. Andrew secretly hates this, and befriends just such a huge, lolloping stray. Mary P, who speaks Dog, explains that unless Miss L adopts this pooch, whose name is Willoughby, the two animals will go off and live rough together. Reluctantly, she does.

Ha that must be it! I'm fairly sure my elder sister had the books. Will have to ask her. :)
