Thomas Healy grew up in Glasgow, back in the times when everyone knew of the Gorbals and what it stood for. He'd never been drawn to violence until one night in a pub he felt obliged to stand up to the local bully. With stark honesty he tells of how he became a drunk, a fighter known to the police and to the courts, a sometime writer and frequently unemployed. He was standing on the steep and slippery slope to nowhere when he bought a dog on impulse. This wasn't just any dog, but a Dobermann - a big, strong dog of the type which is normally only recommended for 'experienced owners'. This was Martin and he saved Thomas Healy's life.
