    Nice one K9 Magazine, although some of our brothers and sisters from across the pond correctly guessed that it was a Racoon!

    Much better than the birds that thinks it’s a dog story!

    It is a Raccoon. Look at the paws. Those are not dog paws. There are visible fingers indicating a Raccoon.

    I do not have much confidence in British politicians at the best of times,now that I think about it poiticos on the world stage do very little for me,find me an honest one and I will more easily find a replica for the Cullinan Diamond.
    There is no doubt BSL is an HEINOUS and EVIL law,merely an extension of Hitler’s policies.But more and more as politicos fail on real issues such as Crime,Economic issues they will go after soft targets and unfortunately
    BSL is such a law.
