History[]

Tatty Oldbitt is an amorous, gin-loving female Bassett hound who spends her life wandering from place to place and, each New Year, usually fetches up in Croynge and hangs out with Boot and B.H. for a few weeks. She is deeply attracted to men in uniform, hence her nickname of 'the Sailors' Friend', though in reality Tatty is attracted to pretty much anything male (especially Boot, who always spurns her advances with a stern "Devil take it, madam — desist!"). She usually ends up going off with B.H.
