In Dutch newspapers we find lately quite a lot of news about dogs, mostly about agressive dogs. In Belgium several children are wounded, one even deadly. In Great Brittain also several children are wounded quite seriously. In the Netherlands, apparently there are several regions you don't wanna go for a walk, several cities and villages where it is very unwise to let your children play outside.
So what's the matter here? Are dogs becoming more agressive? Are agressive dogs becoming more popular? Are agressive dogs becoming a 'hot' topic? Are newspaper taken over by 'cat-people'?
How do we perceive dogs? Are we becoming more cautious? And why? The answer: based on what we read, hear and see. Since the dog-news now is appearing on television it apparently is getting a serious problem? Or is it not? And how do we know?
Most crazy article did I read this morning (in "Dagblad van het Noorden" a regional newspaper): "Dogowners often do not know what risks he's taking". The advice is take assurance. Yeah, that does help those children, doesn't it?
