The dogs were running loose and we don't know who the owner was. That is one of the reasons for my indignation.


Mild anger. I would have been able to reprimand them and point out the error of their ways Children and cyclists are useful to society. Dogs aren't

Yes - a wonderful idea.

There is no chance that my daughter (just turned 16) will end up hating dogs. She has amazing empathy with animals and she supplements her pocket money by pet minding and dog walking. That is probably why she suffered as she did. Whereas I would not have hesitated to kick the dog or poke it with my stick she wouldn't dream of hurting an animal even to protect herself.

And I have spent a lot of time helping to train Search and Rescue dogs. It is probably the contrast between how well behaved a trained working dog is, and how badly behaved the average pet is which makes me angry
