I ABSOLUTELY loved LG’s letter on “Rights for dogs” and couldn’t agree more that we should be made to get a licence to keep dogs.

Hopefully, that would put an end to the amount of shocking cases of sickening cruelty that have happened recently; dogs being left to starve and puppies being battered and tortured – what is wrong with these people?

I’d be happy to buy a licence to keep mine, I know I’m a responsible dog-owner.

I love my dogs and take good care of them. They are friendly and safe to let off their leads and I clean up after them.

Dogs are lovely, so why is everyone giving them such a hard time at the moment?

Whether you love them or hate them, they certainly don’t deserve the life of abuse or torment that we have been reading about lately.
