S pot has a new nickname now. Maybe Spot has led a charmed life. He really hasn't been given much reason to show his teeth over the years. That's the way it should be though. I may be wrong, but I suspect that if I'd gotten one of those other dangerous breeds on the list instead of a Dalmatian, it would be sprawled out the bed with its pink belly soaking up the afternoon sun, just like Spot is now.
Dogs are dogs.
It's the people who own them who are the problem.
