OK, so where is our poor little Nipper really buried? Hopefully not under a big bank building Is there a marker at his grave? (from a Jack Russell dog lover)

I can't ruin a good book by telling the ending.... . Seriously, if you can get a copy, it is a good read. Lets just say there is a bit of confusion. Back in the 1950's there was an archaeological dig performed with two actual witnesses to the burial. You won't believe what they found. There were.....

What a cliff hanger I have started.....

I'm glad you found a copy. I believe the book was re-issued in the early 1980's. I think the back cover is cute. Bad Nipper!!!..... .

My three little boys are all Jack Russell Terriers - I am pretty sure Nipper was at least part Jack Russell by the way he looked even though the original known photo (photos?) are black & white of course. And Jacks can nip if you get them all worked up
Big dog attitude in a little dogs body! Nippers!

I'm not certain who Charles was.

My bad: I meant Francis.
