Was that Columbus's logs?   


Funny you should mention bulldogs, Jerry. Just the other day I met a pitbull that was rescued (a colleague was leaving town and couldn't take the dog) by a young man who didn't want to keep her because he has two small children. At the same time, the dog is under a year old and seems very sweet, so he would like to find a home for her.

Forty years ago my generation worried about Doberman Pinschers. When I was a kid, it was bulldogs that alarmed my parents, because, they said, when a bulldog latches on you can't get it loose. Bulldogs were also reputed to be ferosious killers of other dogs, often suffocating them by grabbing them at the throat.

And now it's pitbulls.

I'm not immune to the fears- I love dogs but I look at certain breeds out of the corner of my eye. Even though I know that the breeds statisticly most likely to bite me are led by the American Cocker Spaniel!
