I would have gone with NM but as i cant, i will guess Boston.


A while ago i posted a question regarding the owner of a dog named Beacher and then promptly went AWOL.
Sorry about that, this parenthood lark isnt as easy as it looks!

Anyway, the owner was Dr John Watson who had the dog in A Study in Scarlet, but gave it to a friend so he could move into Baker St with Holmes.
So a delayed, but well earned, congratulations go to JG for getting that one right 8)
