Apparently the dog in question payed a visit to where Mrs DD used to work.
He was brought into the building through the workshop & past the parts counter.
The parts manager jumped over the counter & refused to come out until the dog was gone!
Even though by that point the dog was upside down having his tummy tickled & was obviously not even slightly dangerous.
Folks reactions to EBT's (and bull breeds in general) used to frustrate me HT. Now I've realised I'm unlikely to change their opinion. And what's the downside to a stranger thinking I own a savage beast?
I'd imagine it dramatically lowers the risk of being mugged when out & about with the dog. Plus a burglar is gonna think twice before risking a break in.
You're bang on mate. The reality is that the most dangerous thing about them is their tail & often their breath

Or the breath from under the tail….. 
Have you ever seen a snoozing dog fart so loudly that it scares them? Then they leap up & start barking to scare off the source of the scary noiseOr the breath from under the tail…..

Startled more than scared usually followed by slinking off sharpish to beat the shouts and finger pointing….
You should never train a dog to be proud of its farts.

Poor bugger looks like he’s inhaled too much second hand Bushmills with added halitosis

You need a dog. Get one mate.He's back for the weekend whilst his Dad is indulging in his works Christmas do.
He's struggling to relax though, as you can see
Bless him

I'll even argue with the missis for you
Cheers Chas, much appreciated but I'm playing the long game with Mrs DD.
And TBH I'm quite enjoying the grandparents scenario
He's not exactly a problem dog but he is a four legged furry wrecking ball. But tomorrow afternoon we get to hand him back. Until the next time he needs babysitting or I go to his to walk him
PS...
Mrs DD keeps cuddling him & telling him what a cutie he is. It's all positive vibes mate
I just offered him a drop of Bushmills off my finger & he turned his nose up. He's also curled up with Mrs DD & the pair of them are watching Strictly Come DancingPoor bugger looks like he’s inhaled too much second hand Bushmills with added halitosis

How do you know if a dog is "gay"?

As I explained when I popped to yours on Friday Scrappy.I'm happy for you mate, and the dog. However I don't know the circumstances, but can't help feeling a bit pissed off that someone will benefit from your effort, when they may not deserve it?
I'm now armed with the full facts.
The owner isn't at fault for getting a dog knowing he'd hardly be around to look after it.
Apparently he got the dog when he was married & has subsequently split from his Mrs but he kept the dog (seems like a sound move
)Basically the dog is a victim of circumstances out of his control. Therefore I'm 100% up for trying to make his life a good bit happier. Plus having him around is good for me as well

God, I *love* being in Kent
My Ford is 2yrs old with only 2400 miles on the clock. I reckon it would benefit from a 300 mile round trip
What time is Sunday dinner served at Chateau Chas?

What time is Sunday dinner served?
Beef, cauli, swede, roast spuds. Savoy cabbage with bacon and garlic. Lots of Aldi's finest Cotes du Rhone. Poss yorkshires. There's some batter left over from frying the fish, I'll lob a couple of eggs in and cook it up. Sometimes works, sometimes not
Luckily for you I've gotta look after our furry guest until tomorrow afternoon.
Cos that sounds absolutely delicious mate!
I'd drive to Kent for that

When my youngest (26 in Jan) calls up for timings for a chunk of meat/ how to get a good roast potato/ wtf is the deal with yorkshires I remind her that I've cooked a roast dinner every weekend since I was in my early 20s so if I've not got it nailed by now I should step away from a stoveLuckily for you I've gotta look after our furry guest until tomorrow afternoon.

But I've had plenty disasters along the way. That's how I *know*
