Some people rehome or even breed animals don't always ask enough questions or vet people properly IMO.

It is very sad that people speak these days of keeping children and dogs apart thus depriving both of a loyal and lasting friendship.Maybe there were not the 'dangerous cross breeds' when I was a child although, thinking about it, all our family dogs were mongrel.

As for good for nothing human gits who have large dogs to compensate for a tiny willy/brain-best to say nowt afore I use bad language
