I didn't actually know they were building a new wharf on Somes, it's great that the island is getting more infrastructure. And great they caught the ants, obviously.

Yeah from what I understand, pit bulls are dangerous because of their power and their "gameness", I think is the term. Not because of their temperament, which I think there are no shortage of families with pit bulls who would say their dogs are gentle and forgiving with their kids.

I don't know anyone willing to defend spaniels as family dogs 😆
