Really - what did they think the animal was going to do, when its owner was threatened?

And he'll probably be prosecuted for having a dangerous dog

Oh well, Merry Christmas everybody.

I have two hungarian vizslas (look just like this dog, in fact that's just like Alice )

My mum looks after them when I'm at work and their really just a big pair of softy's that is until someone goes near my mum! cripes they go insane talk about over protective, actually foaming at the mouth

They wouldn't actually bite anyone, it's all for show, but there's no risk of my mum being mugged

I get the distinct impression from the article that the police aren't bothered.

Mind you, if the robber is daft enough to complain, then he'll get nicked! I think that one bite on the bum is 'reasonable force' anyway.

I know what you mean - we used to have medium-sized general purpose mongrel mutt. Totally harmless, but always liked to welcome people with a bit of fierce-sounding barking.

The missus saw one of those dodgy duster salesmen (just come out of college, blah, blah...) coming down the drive - loud burst of terrifying barking just behind the door - salesman heading back up the drive at the quick-march!
