So is this yet another useless law that is not enforced?
There must surely be a stiff custodial sentence of anyone who flouts the law on dangerous dogs! |

An owner picks their dog, a dog does not pick its owner, so this is down to its owner. I agree does not seem very suitable Dogs also require to be properly looked after and cared for, their behaviour often reflects the way they have been treated/ |
