Summary
Iain Wilkieson talks about his dog, Fred, and a boat his grandfather built.
Iain Wilkieson talks about his dog, Fred, who won Dogs Today magazine's Sea Dog of the Year award. He is eight years old and has been going to sea for seven years. He won't go to sea without Fred, who helps out in his own way. He doesn't know how the Dogs Today people heard about him.
Information about a small boat his grandfather built. It is 111 years old and fourteen foot long. He built many boats, but this is the only survivor. A man who spent many years fishing with him has built a ten foot boat using his father's boat as a template. The only difference between them is the length. Fred was on board the first day the new boat was put to sea. He is a wise dog and he is spoiled.
