Ohio’s 22-year-old dangerous-dog law defines a “vicious dog” to be one that has killed or seriously injured another person, has killed another dog, or belongs to a breed “commonly known as a pit bull dog.”
A bad rap
The United Kingdom, however, bans not only the “pit bull type,” but also the Dogo Argentina, the Japanese Tosa, [...]

Yes, yes and thrice yes!
I absolutely love the Kindle. It’s so unimpressive to look at, but it’s awesome.
I have long since believed the Amazon Kindle will do for books what the iPod did for music – it just makes too much sense that there will be a digital revolution of the written word the same [...]

Despite being nearly mistaken for a ‘dog whisperer’ this was a positive piece of coverage regarding my views on the great status dog / dangerous dogs act debate on London’s LBC Radio.

I’m trying to become more of a record keeper. I’m normally terrible at writing things down and keeping a track of things that have now passed. I prefer to look forward rather than back. However, I’ve decided that’s no excuse for poor record keeping so I’m going to try and change that. Starting with an [...]

Christmas is my favourite time of the year.
I go in to training for Christmas. By that I mean, I start to dramatically reduce my food intake and increase my exercise in the run up, purely and simply because I intend to indulge.
When I see a bowl of sweets, I’m grabbing a fistful. When I see [...]

Today I made my second appearance on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Woman’s Hour’ radio show.
The topic was related to the recent book ‘Dogs in Vogue’ which is, as it happens, a very nice book – amazing shots (as you’d expect) and in my opinion didn’t portray dogs as fashion accessories at all.

For some former print titles, the switch to digital edition is a step into the unknown, is not always done for the right reasons, and is done with little imagination. For K9 Magazine, a print title from an overwhelmingly digital stable, it was like coming home. Ryan O’Meara explains why they ditched their flagship print [...]

These are not technically business books. However, they are two of the most important books I’ve ever read and form the basis for so, so much of the principles for growth and prosperity.
They are, to my mind, in the must read category and should be compulsory reading for young people as soon as they’re ready [...]

Today’s media has been two dog items for BBC Three Counties (always a pleasure) and 4FM, an Irish-based station which described itself to me as a ‘the offspring of what would happen if Jeremy Vine and Chris Evans had a baby’.
The Three Counties piece was an item on the importance and value of socialisation for [...]

News International? Time Warner?
Nope. Neither.
It’s…………
……JP Morgan Chase!
Knock me down with a feather. I would have never have got that question right in a pub quiz. But it’s true. Just heard it on Bloomberg.
What next? Am I going to find out that the largest manufacturer of running shoes is not Nike or Addidas but Barclays Bank?
Probably [...]
