Animals
Numerous animals have been referred to during The Archers' run. They have of course been played by the "special effects department" as necessary.
Captain Jack Woolley's Staffordshire Bull Terrier dog was a frequent nuisance to guests and staff at Grey Gables, and was regularly indulged by his owner. Captain died suddenly while Jack was on his honeymoon with Peggy.
Sammy Peggy Woolley's cat was always finding himself in scrapes and being indulged by his owner until he spent the last of his "nine lives".
Lone Ranger Freda Fry's stray cat who died in 2007 from a bite feared to be from an escaped snake. This led to stories of The Worm of Ambridge, a legendary monster, resurfacing — thanks to Joe Grundy's fertile imagination.
Bartleby Joe Grundy's pony pulls his trap around the area. Likes carrots and getting his oats.

Famous quotes containing the word animals:
“From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“What distinguished man from animals was the human capacity for symbolic thought, the capacity which was inseparable from the development of language in which words were not mere signals, but signifiers of something other than themselves. Yet the first symbols were animals. What distinguished men from animals was born of their relationship with them.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
