And then make something out of nothing.
You may have already seen this on the news but I was amazed at this reporters stupidity. He starts off apparantly teasing Barney, George Bush’s dog who is on a lead, and then, without any consultation with the person holding the lead, he lunges straight into Barney’s personal space with right hand outstretched and a large sheaf of papers in the left. Barney checks out his options. He tries flight, no good, on a lead. Freeze is not an option, he can’t ignore this big lump looming over him so it’s fight. No other option, but even as he is using that option Barney is moving backwards and obviously telling the reporter ‘backoff’.
I found it really hard to see any contact. Any that did occur was richly deserved. What did the reporter do? He saw the White House Physician and had the wound? dressed. The reporter says it will have to be rebandaged daily and he’ll be on a course of anti-biotics. Oh please!!! In one report it said that ‘Following the attack (no overdramatisation there then) the reporter was treated by the Presidents Personal Surgeon.”What would have happened if the dog had belonged to a member of the public, was bigger, or if the incident had not been filmed to show that the bite was justified? Probably a dead dog, just because once again a human had done the wrong thing and the dog would be the loser. How many times on a daily basis do incidents like this occur that result in dogs being killed? Many more than you’d like to think. But hey that’s ok how dare a dog act like a dog? We’re humans, top of the food chain. Cross us and die.
