dogbo
my dog's got an asbo
but 'e didn't mean no 'arm
'e was only playin
when 'e chomped off your arm
'e was only teasin
an' tryin to have a laugh
'e didn't really mean it
when 'e bit your kid in 'alf
an 'e was only jokin
when 'e tore off your dog's 'ead
i know 'e's very sorry
that the sweet chiwawa's dead
and anyway, it's all your fault
so don't get in a stew
i know 'e only did it
cos he was so scared of you!

Well written Ann and raising a very valid point. The stats are frightening - anyone know UK ones - here are those for the USA - http://www.dogbitelaw.com/PAGES/statistics.html
Dogs can be a lot of fun and they often seem connected to people in spooky ways, but what would aliens make of the figures? If humanity ever manages to travel between the stars, what would we make of a race that tolerated these sort of attack and death stats from their little green pets?
