One day a cocker spaniel named Granny leaps out of her cot and starts howling loudly. Granny is older than the dog but not by much and appears to be in great shape. She charges at her young master with her determination to prove herself. One of my favorite movies "Breakfast At Tiffany's" has Granny as one of the older ladies who is loud, brash and ready for a fight. In this case it is her turn to prove her man wrong and to show him what he is missing. How come she is still around when she is so old and not as spry as the younger versions of herself?.
