The Dog's Home is a small hut built of rough stones in the "steep woods" above Beckfoot, where The Ds live as Picts after leaving Beckfoot when the Great Aunt comes to stay, in The Picts and the Martyrs. It is up in the wood, just round the first bend, and across the road and the beck.
According to Nancy, Uncle Jim said that the woodcutters used it long before we (the Amazons) were born, and he used it when he was a little boy. Peggy says that we (the Amazons) used to go there "when we were young, before we had Amazon and before we discovered Wild Cat Island (PM4).
Later The Ds discover that Jacky Warriner has been using it, and he tells them where to keep the milk cool (PM11).
It is based on a small stone hut built in the woods above Coniston Water close to Ransome's then residence.
Roger Wardale wrote that there is such a hut by a path through Machell Coppice near the Heald, and has a photograph of the hut, which was inhabited in 1990 (Wardale page 174-176).
