4 Local Life The Power of Dog Over where we live, there is a piece of waste ground where all the neighbourhood’s dogs and dog owners congregate on a daily basis whatever the weather. I couldn’t honestly tell you a single name of any of the owners or what they do in life; I just know them as the fellow with the two Jack Russells, or the chocolate Lab lady or the Lancashire Heeler couple and so on. When we converse, the subject matter ranges from the weather, to Brexit, sports and obviously all sorts of doggy talk. We listen to each other, have a bit of banter, put the world to rights and then we all go our own separate ways. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if our leading politicians were to walk their dogs and meet up on Westminster Green for a similar chinwag every day? No tribal politics allowed, just getting to know each other and learning to respect each other’s views. It would be a welcome change for politicians to actually engage with each other face to face, without any goading from fellow politicians, interference from special advisers or a running commentary from the media. Would it work or would they use their dogs in a power play to intimidate, like President Putin allegedly did in 2007 when he introduced his big black Lab to Germany’s Angela Markel, who is apparently terrified of dogs. Ok, so the answer to the world’s problems may not lie with dogs, but after 3½ years of Brexit paralysis, surely anything is worth a try to stop our country’s politicians dominating the TV schedules. It’s not for nothing that politics is known as showbiz for ugly people and, if the last few months are anything to go by, showbiz luvvies will soon be setting up group therapy sessions, heavily traumatised by their lack of airtime...
