@ timtak1 I remember Petra! This was a song that really grabbed a generation. But it is only 30 plus years later that the Petra generation can really make their voice heard

No, sorry! When Noakes could not use Shep in adverts, he got another border collie dog Skip. After appearing with Noakes in Go with Noakes, Shep was passed on to a Blue Peter associate  Edith Menezes. It was in her care that Shep died on the 17 January 1987.

According to wikipedia John was allowed to keep Shep, so I presume that he died in Majorca, since John and his wife had settled down there in 1984.

But then, who remembers Petra and Patch? Petra was the mum. Patch, Noakes' first dog died young.
