For some reason a post I made under a consistent guest identity was deleted (or coincidentally vanished).

Don, your postings here are wholly at variance with views I have heard you repeatedly express in person - typified by your repeated statements that Bonnie my blonde Great Dane bitch (RIP) had, "like every other blonde [Great Dane] the temperament of an angel".

Which actually represents your views? That all dogs are dangerous, or that all blonde Great Danes have the temperament of an angel?


More generally, the human/dog symbiosis is of such long standing that in general it does not need interfering with. Nothing in the world is 100% safe, but if the only way to placate the nanny state is to be crual to dogs I would rather they became extinct. I like most dogs better than I like many people - and anything that can barely tolerate cats can't be all bad.
