This is a picture of Socks and his best friend, Mick. (the beloved late owner of Malealea Lodge). Socks had a scary start to life, almost losing it when he was just a puppy. Despite this, he grew to be an incredibly strong (and quite large) dog. Sock’s exact breed was never really known to anyone who met him, but it was apparent that he had a lot of Irish wolfhound traits, and looked quite like one too. This leads us to the question of: ‘How did Socks, or rather how did Socks’ ancestors come to be in Lesotho?’
