First of all, that picture is mildly terrifying, and I think that dog talks in a human voice and a dog voice at the same time. Secondly, I’m so sorry you had to put up with all that shit, Katie! I thought you were reasonable, and it was fair to look at the stats and where they came from and how accurate they were. The British Press definitely like to take shock stories and exaggerate and run with them for publicity and claim they are doing it for the greater good, rather than their own sales. As for people dumping dogs, that’s just sad. It reminds me of how in WWII, people in Britain dumped dachshunds because the papers published political cartoons with the UK represented as a brave British Bulldog, and Germany as a sneery little dachshund and I guess they thought their dogs were Nazis now? (My research on this point is “All Creatures Great and Small” by James Herriot. Can’t remember which one!)
