Otto has healed well physically and as importantly hasn’t developed any fear of or aggression to other dogs. I worked on socialising him once he was up and about again.
I spent a few days picking Road dirt out of my knees, not a novel experience for most of us.
I think we do need to discuss this as a country, without emotion, I’m going to keep calling them fighting dogs just as I call Labradors retrievers.
I would propose a Dog Liscence for all dogs above 30kg or of a type bred for fighting. This would be based on the presumption that they are legal to own and the liscencing authority has to show you are unsuitable. It would include a DBS check.
For really large dogs there might be a second category that would include a report from your Doctor.
As we were driving Otto to be stitched up we got to the end of Leigham Court Road at the junction with Streatham High Road (A23) the car in front slowed for the red light then just rolled through it not giving a fuck.
There’s no point if we don’t actively police laws.
