Cody 1 Dyson 0

The perpetual battle between dog and hoover is at last over.  Yesterday, at 15:34 precisely, the trusty Dyson gave up the ghost, and with a final cough, splutter and choke, expired in a haze of electrical smoke, finally beaten by the husky fur.

Our thoughts and best wishes are with his nearest: the fridge-freezer and electric drill.

Dyson Animal, rest in peace.
