Dogsey

I'm not in the least bit curious about their political persuasion and doubt they'd change allegiance because their dog bit someone from their party of choice.

However the fact that she says she 'tried treats' first says that she was aware that there was a need to placate the dog. Stupid woman.

I wonder how she stands with this. Is she trespassing, entering someone else's property uninvited?
There are one or two candidates that I would be happy to be seen off my land

She did not say she 'tried treats first' what she said was that she has a dog herself and always knows to take treats with her.

She also said she was met by three dogs as she entered a home-owner's gate and provided treats for them all, but one took exception and bit her.

There was nothing in the article about knowing that there was a need to placate the dog.

You say how do I know she tried treats and then say she PROVIDED TREATS FOR THEM ALL!

What she said (from the quote) was

To me that says she did try them. Or how would she know treats would not be ENOUGH? And what you said says she did TRY them.

I haven't read the article. Got no interest in doing so. I am commenting on what you posted and what made you WONDER.

I thought that the idea of posting a link was for the rest of the article to be read, and my comment after the link was tongue-in-cheek, hence the ellipses.

Malka - perhaps your intelligent, ready wit is wasted on some. Your wondering certainly made me smile.

I'd have probably tried to bite a Tory candidate myself

Sorry, but if the lady was daft enough to enter a gate with three dogs running loose (not read full article, just going on comments) then it's hardly surprising she ran into problems.

Some dogs just don't seem to care what something's taste like before wrapping their gnashers around them!
