I was never really a dog person, until Lenny, that is; Lenny changed everything. I remember having a family dog, alright, when I was growing up in Liverpool — a Staffy called Izzy — but I was only about five or six at the time so she never made a big impression. My partner Karen, though, she had loads of dogs around her growing up; lots of them were street dogs who roamed about during the day but Karen’s family brought them inside to sleep at night. They also had a family dog — Ted — and he only died a few years ago.
So when myself and Karen [Byrne] got together, she was always on at me about getting a dog. “We don’t have time,” I’d say. “I’m always gigging and you’re always at the dance studio, teaching.”
