Quiz me quick - Karen Bush
It's that time of year when quizzes and presents abound - so I thought I might combine the two in my post this month.
I have donned my festive Quiz Me Quick hat and set a few brainteasers for you: should you feel like participating, I am awarding either a copy of any one of my e-books or a gift-wrapped copy of the paper edition of Everything Your Dog Expects You to Know (I'll pay UK postage) to the winner of each category. The person with the most correct answers in each category wins - in the event of a tie, the names will go in a hat.
Don't post your answers here, but email them to me via the contact page of my author website HERE, where you can also find details of my ebooks. The deadline is 8th January and the winners will be announced on my blog post here on the 10th.
The Questions!
Which authors wrote books in which the following horse or dog characters appear? You get the idea: there's a horse or dog theme as that's what I mainly write about ... You can either do the dog questions, or the horse ones, or if you are feeling really energetic, enter twice by doing both categories.

Comments
I'm surprised how many of the horse answers I know, and how few of the dog answers - though I know Montmorency, and Scraps, Haspode and Laddie.
Do please have a go Dennis, Sue and Bill - you never know, maybe no-one will know all of them so you could still be in with a chance of winning ...
(And Dennis, it thinks I'm a robot too and I WROTE this post!!!)
(And it STILL thinks I am a robot. I'm not. Although I do like Asimovs Three Laws and think its a shame they can't be hot wired into human brains at birth ...)
