Do you have one, want one or not like them?

I like them but I wouldn't have my own. It's not fair to leave them alone all day, and to be honest I'm too selfish. Plus I live in an apartment now and as well as being totally impractical for pets, it's against the terms of the lease.

I like little puppies but not full grown dogs.  So wouldn't have one. 

I have a little Andrex puppy.  There's no poop to scoop with him.

I love most dogs - especially silly, jallolloping ones who get all excitied when they see you. I cannot have a dog just now because I have two elderly cats who would not like it and I am out at work all day. It would not be fair on the dog.

I am not so keen on small, spoilt, bad-tempered dogs that want to be carried everywhere.

I don't like when the celebs have their pooches in posh little bags like a fashion accessory.

Dogs don't need clothes that's why they have fur!

Celebs do see dogs as a fashion accessory and I think it's cruel, they treat them like they are little dolls as something

My friend went to the RSPCA cat and dog shelter last month and got a border terrier. She was asked to pay £90 but as she is on a low wage and thought she shouldn't pay to give a dog a good home she offered £30 and the shelter accepted that. She was told the dog was house trained and very placid. She took it home where it immediately peed on her rug. She thought it was just the dogs nerves coming to a new home so didn't worry until the dog started to pee and poo all around her house and growl at her whenever she was putting its food out. After a week it tried to bite her so she took it back to the RSPCA. I imagine they will sell it on to someone else .

Did they give her the £30 back?

No. They said she was not entitled to a refund.

A five-month-old girl has died after being attacked by two Rottweiler dogs in Leicester.

Emergency services were called to Stephenson Drive in the New Parks area of the city at 1500 GMT on Saturday.

The baby was in the living quarters of a pub called The Rocket which is kept by her parents.

A member of the family said one of the dogs dragged the child onto the roof. She was taken to the Leicester Royal Infirmary but died from her injuries.

Police have begun an investigation to try to find out what happened.

A police spokesman said officers would be seeking a destruction order for the dogs.

I would get rid of all dogs except those little ratty ones that old women have and police dogs and guide dogs for the blind/deaf.  All other dogs are potentially dangerous and ought to be sent to Easter island or something.

Is it just me, or does it sound really weird when they say a dangerous dog is going to be 'destroyed'? It makes it sound like the dog is going to be blown up like a military fortress or something; I keep picturing a 'controlled explosion' like when they destroy suspicious packages.

It's a euphemism.  Because we are a so-called 'nation of animal lovers', the press etc say destroyed when they really mean killed.  These were not feral dogs roaming the streets, they were essentially pets.  Some person must be held responsible for allowing two powerful guard dogs with a potential for agression to be left alone with a little baby.  I would put them in with a spotted hyena and see how they like it.

Birds are smelly and unsociable and I don't see the point in them. Shoot them all.
