Barking Mad Puppetry for Youngsters at the Scottish Storytelling Centre

Three dogs mean furrowed fur aplenty as the trio battle for scratches behind the ears amongst enchanted visitors at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.

Dog from The Man Who Planted Trees is definitely the mouthiest by far, always ready with a wise crack until you distract him with a stick…

The Land of the Dragon have a hyperactive scruffy pal Gelert who can’t stop giving good luck licks and woofs with all the excitement… in fact you may want to steer clear of his hind leg rising…

Then there’s Poj from The Magic Porridge Pot. The largest puppet canine is so confused by the whole situation from behind his porridge bowl that he thinks he’d rather be a cat… or maybe a bird and fly away with his oversized ears…

Come meet these enchanting creatures and decide which one is your favourite... if you can!
