The Dog it was that Died A play for radio by H. R. F.KEATING based on his thriller novel of the same title with David Valla , Felix Felton and Kate Binchy
This dog and man at first were friends ;
But when a pique began,
The dog, to gain some private ends,
Went mad and bit the man ...
But soon awonder came to light Thatshow'd the rogues they lied. The man recover'd of the bite, The dog it was that died.
(Oliver Goldsmith )
