Deputy David Crespel has been walking his Belgian shepherd Ebony along the breakwater regularly for many years but recently his pet has doggedly refused to complete the last section of the journey.
When they reach the last 50 yards, Ebony has taken to refusing under any circumstances to follow the Deputy and does her best to pull him around to go back – much to the amusement of onlookers ‘The whole thing is baffling.
We get to this point near the end of the breakwater and Ebony stops absolutely dead – there’s no hope of getting her to budge and we have to turn back,’ Deputy Crespel said.
On the first occasion Ebony acted in this way, Deputy Crespel thought his dog’s strange behaviour was a one-off.
But ever since then, the 14-year-old dog, which is a very docile but strong animal, has made it clear with distinct body language that the end of the breakwater is out of bounds.
