Description Marty is the runt of a litter of three. His family lives on the wrong side of County Limerick’s tracks in the 1970’s. He’s been hard to train and is regularly clipped behind the ear by his dad. When he’s really naughty, he’s locked in the coal shed. Nights would get cold if he couldn’t snuggle up to his German Shepherd mates Major and Rex. One day when they get vicious in defence of their little mate, the authorities step in and Marty bolts. Marty thinks he’s a dog. Marty is a boy.
