I found this transcription on one of our 'favourite' websites and thought I'd share

Residence Year:   1839
Publication Title:   1839 Robson's London and Birmingham - Part 1
Occupation:   Duck
Street address:   18 Queen St, Soho

I wonder how common it was for our canine friends to run their own businesses in the 1800's? This particular one must have been very versatile to earn money by being a different species all together   

If anyone out there thinks has reason to think that the above relates to their own tree, and would like the reference I'm happy to oblige

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it must be...............a dog

Yes I know, I was having a laugh, I thought that's what 'The Lighter Side' was for?

It's quite clear he's an undercover dog disguised as a duck. I believe they were used to catch poachers.
Fido Mallard was the most successful...well until the duck hunting season started anyway.

Then he might have become an over cover duck!
Wonder what his tog rating was?
