Here we go again...

A feisty Jack Russell terrier has given his life to save five children from a mauling by two savage pitbulls.

Listen to the tone of the reporting here, one dog is 'feisty' because it rushes in to attack a perceived threat, while the other dogs are 'savage'.

All the dogs involved were doing what they believed was the right thing.

That's all we dogs ever do. Our perception of what's necessary is shaped by the environment we live in. I'm sorry to say that the two "savage" dogs here will need to be destroyed for something that is NOT THEIR FAULT.

Just ask my cats about "feisty Jack Russell terriers." A type of dog bred to CHASE and KILL small animals. How come it was able to race to the defence of those kids?

Don't tell me it was off its leash in a public place!?

Am I to assume that the local council will be prosecuting its boss also, it did after all rush in to attack another dog, whatever the odds against it were.

We don't count the odds.

The wee dog was a hero you say. Rubbish. He was being a dog. We're brave and loyal and protect the ones we love. That's why you humans keep us around.

Repeat after me:
DANGEROUS DOG = DANGEROUS OWNER.

So let's stop talking about breed, and focus on deed.

PLEASE!!!
