On the North East coast of England, in the town of Hull, there lives a lady by the name of Alison Hansen.  For years Alison and her family kept a Boxer Dog by the name of Prince as their family pet. Prince was Alison's very best friend and she liked nothing better than walking the dog in and around the wind swept fields of Hull.

Prince was a strong and healthy dog, he had a shining brown coat with a white chest and a little white patch on his nose. Alison, like many other pet owners, talked to her dog. Whenever she felt a little sad all she had to do was call to Prince and up he would come running to her side. It was impossible to be sorrowful with such a playful companion by her side.

The years passed and Prince the Boxer Dog grew old. But Alison still loved her pet and cared for him as she respected and loved her dear friend. Prince had been such a faithful pal that Alison could not bear to see him go. But all the love in the world could not save poor old Prince and one day he just quietly passed away in his sleep. For days Alison was deeply upset, Prince really had been a true and faithful friend and she would miss him.

Many years later Alison went to see a Psychic Medium who told her that she had a dog friend in the spirit world that wanted her to remember him. The Psychic Medium then said that in time to come the dog would appear to Alison as he still thought about her and the happy times they had shared whilst he was her pet dog.

Some time later Alison was feeling sad and she thought back to those happy times when her dog Prince would come along and cheer her up. How glad she had been of his company, it was all so long ago, but she had never forgotten him. Still feeling a little sorrowful Alison went into the bathroom of her home to wash her hands, as she reached out for the towel she saw, there in the bathrom tiles, the face of her old friend Prince the Boxer Dog. At first she couldn't believe it and looked again, the image of her pal was still there. 'Hello Prince' said Alison 'how are you old pal?' But the image of the dog remained silent. The sight of her friend did cheer her up though and Alison immediately felt better. Then she thought back to what the Psychic Medium had said, how right she had been, Alison had now seen Prince's image in her bathroom tiles.

Now there may be those who doubt the truth of Alison's story, so to offer you the chance to see for yourself she took a photograph.
