The article is fine for length and date, thoroughly sourced and the image has an appropriate license. The hook has a slight problem in that the source says that Crackers was looking forward to retirement at Mey, not that he actually retired there. Is that too pedantic? There are probably lots of other potential hooks in there.  Tigerboy1966  18:34, 26 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Alt 1 hook ... that the Queen has owned over 30 corgis (corgis pictured with Queen Mother) since she became Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth Realms in 1952?-- Nvvchar . 04:26, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
