OK, I admit to disliking dogs ever since a police dog bit me at Euston 1983 after the Arsenal game, for no reason than "you must have got too near" said the old bill dog handler as blood trickled from the fang marks of my thigh as seen through my ripped jeans.....
But why do people own dogs? They are a burden, drag you into commitment (how any walks a day? Can't go on holiday abroad or pay a fortune to a kennel) they stink, shit and piss over your lawn. Then there are vet fees.
Now I love animals and as a veggie won't eat them. But dogs? I just don't get them, their purpose and why anyone would have one.
Give me a cat any day.....
