Thank you for this - I just sneaked in after finishing filling the stockings and on my way to bed, so a delightful little Christmas story is a real gift!
I had wondered why all of Doyle's girlfriends had cried off from spending Christmas Eve with him - let's face it, it would take a lot to put most of us off! - so Bodie's strategem was very funny!
And yes, Toby definitely joins Basil in the gallery of favourite Pros dogs. Very enjoyable, have a wonderful day!
