Turn the pages of Puffin's story.
A whole life in rich watercolour, from a farmyard near Cirencester to a rainbow over a Scottish loch. This is the book that started it all. Yours could be next.
Born at Dryleaze Farm.
A farmyard near Cirencester, a black lab called Brie, and one red pup full of mischief.
A puffin with a Labrador nose. From that day, the name just stuck.
Gentle Brie, the watchful mum, settling her pups one by one.
Puffindor, Huffle Puffle, Sniff Snuff, Doreen, Diplodorus and Frog.
She chose her family with ease.
The boldest of the litter, wriggling close to whoever sat down.
The eleventh of July: a surprise for Dad, with a gift tag in her mouth.
'Here comes our country dog!' Nose down through the autumn fields.
Every lake, loch and shining mile.
All the way to the Isle of Skye, and straight in with a SPLASH.
High above a Scottish loch, a rainbow arching through the sky.
Summer by the willows, watching Dad wakeboard the lake.
The day the question was asked by the water. She knew the answer.
A wedding, and a houseful of friends.
The 2020 wedding at Upham: a tipi, Captain the horse and Botcha the pony.
Poppy the terrier, Duke the Great Dane, hawks and hens, met without a growl.
The clown of the family: the topsy-turvy Crocodog.
Walks up to Jack's Castle, biplanes humming over Wiltshire.
Some friends never really leave.
February 2025: the first to greet baby Zara, gentle and knowing.
Her gift was simple. She made every single day feel fun.
When the harder days came, she faced them steadily, the way good dogs do.
Walk near Jack's Castle, and perhaps you'll feel her checking in.
For dogs like Puffin never leave the hearts they wandered through.
This was Puffin's. What will yours be?
