As you say, he adored his dogs and relied on them so it must have been a really hard decision to sacrifice them for his own life.

In his bedroom a book he authored lay on the bedside table. I sat on his bed and opened it at random to read a harrowing story of Dr Grenfell being trapped on an ice floe with his dogs overnight after visiting a sick patient. To keep warm he had to kill one of the dogs and use the carcass as a kind of overcoat. He was spotted and rescued in the morning. I felt like I got to know who he was in real life, reading that story in his old bedroom surrounded by his belongings. He loved his dogs and they loved him.ElizabethAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07267024708198877180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-51896688035157100982020-10-02T02:26:55.231-02:302020-10-02T02:26:55.231-02:30I've never seen a square framed lighthouse bef...I've never seen a square framed lighthouse before, they're usually round.
