SPEAKING as a dog lover, there seems to be an explosion of dogs in this country.

Everywhere you go, there is someone with a dog, often more than one.

Dog charities are bursting at the seams. Every paper you look in there are dogs and puppies all looking for homes and for sale. There must be some way of controlling the breeds.

Many people are making lots of money out of this dog trade.

What kind of person wants to own such a dog as a bull mastiff type, especially after it has killed another dog?

What a terrible memory for that little boy (Daily Echo, April 27).

The Dangerous Dog Act is not enough. The whole issue of dog ownership in this country needs a complete overhaul.
