WHY I DONT CARE ABOUT RUSSELL BRAND in his 2007 autobiography 'My Booky Wook', about his childhood dog Topsy that was always allowed to sleep on his bed . The bond must have been close. When his mum's boyfriend Colin moved in, Topsy was banned from upstairs where she used to sleep with him. He says in the book: "When we first got Topsy, she would be allowed to sleep in the bed with me. But when Colin came, an absurd edict was introduced whereby she was no longer allowed upstairs. I evidently had a lot of anger and hate in me about this because I would perch at the top of the stairs and lure her to come up - 'Topsy! Topsy! Topsy!' Then, when she would slink nervously upward... I would suddenly become Mr. Hyde. 'Oh dear, Topsy,' I would declaim... 'you know perfectly well you're not allowed upstairs' before cruelly kicking her back down to the bottom again, where I would rejoin her and give her a sympathetic cuddle, regretfully muttering, 'Oh Christ! Were you kicked down the stairs? This is terrible.'" He even wrote: "My friend Matt Morgan says Topsy must've thought she lived in a house with twins - an evil one who lived on the landing, and a good one who dwelt downstairs." That is the sign of a very weird brain in my view. I would never treat an animal badly for any reason especially because something bad was happening to me.
