Will be very interested to see the results of the survey. I have a rescue staff from Battersea who is an angel, but people gather their children up when they see her. Especially Dulwich park and Wandsworth common! I have had plenty of people tell me she should not even be in the park or she should be on a lead as they are aggressive dog sand at times I have had challenge a few people on their bigoted views and show them that my dog is not out to kill, mame or hurt other dogs or children, in fact she's usually more placid and clam than the fluffy neurotic breeds who easily nip and ankle or two!But because of how she looks she has a stigma attached to her which is very sad. Down to stupid Kids trying to look hard. In fact I usually go up to these kids with my dog who wants to play with their dog and 9 times out of 10, I find thier's, usually harnessed up in studded collars etc, usually just rolls over on its back to have its belly rubbed - much to the horror of the kid at the other end of the lead who has just lost a bit of street cred. Where did all this come from?
