At the end of PM (chapter 29) Jacky Warriner is there with his father and their sheepdog. Earlier Jacky says about the search “Sergeant’s brought his bloodhound. And my dad’s coming with our Bess, She’s a right clever dog. Hasn’t nobody telled you”. Well Jacky has!
The postman talks (chapter 26) about young Jacky “with a tongue that’d talk the hind leg off a Herdwick sheep”; presumably the local breed of sheep.
