Loses his shit at Hairy Maclary, but also uses snazzy words like “shemozzle” and “hullabaloo”. Down with Pugh (IMAGE: HAIRY MACLARY’S HAT TRICKS, © Lynley Dodd, 2007) Grandmother Pugh and Grandmother GoffĮveryone loves their grandmothers, but these books are about dogs and cats, not budgie-owning octogenarians and old ladies whose hats blow away.

We barely had a chance to know Ray, given all he did was wave a hat at Scarface Claw once. We each have our favourites, but like Samuel Stone giving out his juiciest bone, there can only be one winner. Be warned, these rankings may hurt if you have a soft spot for the Poppadum Kittens from Parkinson Place. The results are in, the debate is over, Hercules Morse is still as big as a horse. This is of course all thanks to Dame Lynley Dodd, who writes sweet, simple stories about a mischievous terrier and his gang of doggy mates.īooks like Hairy Maclary’s Caterwaul Caper and Slinky Malinki Catflaps are literary classics, but has anyone ever ranked every single cat, dog, bird and human in the Hairy Maclary stories in a completely arbitrary way? Which is the strongest and the shaggiest? Whomst is most likely to appear from nowhere with a ladder? It’s hard to believe such a ranking hasn’t happened before, and yet, here we are. The prime minister once read a Hairy Maclary book on national television, and we all know a small kid who can’t put their pants on properly but can drop a casual “cacophony” or “skedaddle” into the conversation like a total boss. We’ve made films about his life, erected statues in his honour, and turned Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy into the bestselling book of last decade. Tara Ward transcends the cat v dog debate with a list that also includes a goat, a duckling, and a butcher who likes to share his meat.
