BBC3 - my weapon is a dog

Last night there was a great programme on BBC3 which dealt with the phenomenon of 'dangerous' dogs being used as weapons. If you have the time to watch it then please do, it's very pertinent not only to this blog but to the situation with dogs in cities more generally.

There's still time to watch the programme both on iPlayer and over the next few days when it is shown at the following times:
