Leaving any driving skills aside (NO REALLY, please), is there really a connection to WW2? I’ve read Ian McEwan’s, Black Dogs but honestly can’t imagine that a few very recent, possibly fictional and certainly isolated cases might have turned a huge segment of the populace of this country against dogs.
It has oft been suggested that dogs were influential in the rise of the human race. Their teeth and claws allowed us to lose ours – the remaining energy allowed our brains to grow. They hunted for us and handed over their quarry at a single command. They turned the rats and mice out of our grain-houses. They warned of impending danger.
I only ask, as I’ve seen the fear first hand – it reminds me of my irrational fear of spiders. It must be a cultural thing…
If you want to answer, please do it sensibly.
