Cock that charmed a butcher , is the enemy of all dogs ! . Billy , cock whose charming ways appealed so much to F E Durrant , a butcher of Criclewood , London , that is now a treasured pet , has become the closest friend of the cat next door , but he hates dogs ! . His antipathy to all dogs is so intense that no dog can pass him when he is in the shop . Billy has one weakness , vanity . He admires himself in mirrors and watches himself performing a solemn little dance he has invented . Phot shows , Billy ignores the coaxing of Mr F E Darrant and refuses to let Judy a collie , enter the shop . 13 March 1936
