Not my words, but the gist of a new RSPCA campaign to get at the real danger behind "dangerous dogs" - their "owners". The more we take the emphasis off the dog itself, then the more we are likelyto tackle the root cause of the problem. The idea of putting the dog down is not only unfair on the dog, it means that those in authorities think that the problem has been dealt with, or worryingly, they can tell us that, when quite obviously it hasn't.
The promotion of responsible dog ownership and accountability for a dog's behaviour is long overdue, we all make mistakes, but the prevailing view is that it's the dog's fault. Dogs are reactive, we are proactive - it's our fault, no excuses.
