Jack Trent ... again, although Allie is a good contender.

Here's one I would find hard to choose from -

Jack Trent or Barney.

If people say why, it makes the thread more interesting to read.

Barney. He's a much loved and well rounded character whereas Spiky is just an extra as far as I am aware.

Barney or Snubby?

Ooh dear. They're both attractive characters, but I'll go for Snubby as he is just so entertaining - if rather infuriating at times!

Snubby or Gypsy Jo?

Hmm difficult I go for George only because I always wanted to be like her and have a dog like Timmy...

George Kirrin or Tinker?

Philip. George is feisty and brave but her constant sulks and tantrums really annoy me.

How about two characters with the similar gift of charming all animals...

Philip Mannering
or
Jimmy Brown (Galliano's Circus)?

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
