Is Poppy really like Hairy Maclary ?

 
What do you think ?

I think they are very alike 












We have had our beautiful puppy Poppy since May 2014 ,
a few times when we have been in parks or Hampstead Heath
 we have had people stop us to say
"your dog is Hairy Maclary have you seen the books ? "
No we had never heard or seen these books ,
 but whenever we Was told this I had got the name wrong ,
I tried goggling Mary Mcscary, Hairy Mcfairy,
I never found anything on my searches.
,Then Yesterday I had dropped Jack off at football training then
went for a walk around Primrose Hill,
I was waiting for my son Terry so sat on a bench for a rest
Poppy was off chasing other dogs as she does ,
Then a lovely couple come up to me and asked what type

of dog is she, so I explained a Bichon & German Spitz mix

Then the Gentleman say's
" have you seen the book Hairy Mclary From Donaldson's Dairy ,

your dog is the image of the dog in the book ?

she is beautiful and very unique "

I explained no I hadn't seen it but have been stopped and told

this on a number of occasions but was unable to find anything,

so the lady wrote the name down for me saying you 

must go and look it up your be surprised.

So I did and I was !! 

There really is an uncanny resemblance 

between them Hairy Maclary looks like he has all
of  Poppy's cheekiness and mischievous character

So now I am looking forward to buying some of the book's
and reading them to my Grandchildren,
I'm so pleased to have finally found them so next time
I get stopped and asked I can say yes I have
