The "I Hate The Dogs Man"

A Memory of Frimley Green.

Does anyone remember the "I hate the dogs" man? He was the opposite of Camberley Kate. He loathed canines of all sorts, and shouted "I hate the dogs" in the street. If he met a dog, he would get down on his hands and feet and bark back at it. He was, you could say, barking, a sort of village idiot. Children told stories about him, that his wife was killed by dogs, but I suspect he was unmarried, and mad. Still, he made more of an impression that the other villagers.
