Frankie is the most angelic of dogs and quite unlike a Siberian Husky in so many ways. For example, he comes when called. Well, almost always. He behaves in the house. He rarely causes trouble. He is just a good dog.

The brothers – thick as thieves.

And Typhoon is, well, . . . not. He is always the instigator. He is constantly into mischief. He has a nose for trouble.

So opposite . . . and yet always together.

Yes, we have Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade (a little reference to Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury – One of the Hu-dad’s favorite books and an absolute must-read novel) in The Herd – the good and the bad.

They look so alike from many angles.

And, as so often happens, these opposite personalities mesh together so well and they are the best of friends, always together.

Me and my shadow. Of course, anything that goes wrong gets blamed on him, too, so there are advantages.
