Jock is an old dog.

His ears are floppy.

His legs are bendy.

His eyes are cloudy.

But he still runs fast!

And his smile is wide.

When the sun goes down, he walks along the fence with Tatomkhulu.

They greet their friends.

They count the sheep.

They check the gates.

Jock sleeps outside.

When it rains, he sleeps under the bakkie.

He loves Tatomkhulu.

He loves chicken. Sometimes he gets some!

He also loves me.
