Poor old Pero, he was on trial. His trial was on a farm in Cumbria. He was a sheepdog. He'd been wrenched from his home somewhere in Wales (impossible to spell and pronounce) and transported 240 miles north. Sheepdogs, being smart, like other canines, can lick their balls, but when dumped in Cockermouth, he declined the implicit additional challenge! He was homesick. While herding sheep one day, he saw his chance of a getaway, unheard.

12 days after his trials in Cockermouth, he arrived back home in Wales. Nobody knew how he'd got there, but he sure was dog-tired!
