Alex is a keen dog admirer and over the years has had a number of dogs.

Alex had Jamie first.
The Dalmatian was an adored pet before the Great Dane.
Sammy, the Alsatian, was the second dog Alex loved.
Whitney was owned before the Poodle.
Jimmy was not a Great Dane.
Can you match the dogs to their names and find the order in which Alex had them?

Hint
Try working backwards.
Answer
148.
148 x 6 = 888.
The easiest way is to divide successive 8's by 6 until you get an integer:
8 ÷ 6 = 1.3333
88 ÷ 6 = 14.666
888 ÷ 6 = 148
