Genuine photo or not, why is it ok to use live fish as bait but not live dogs? I will probably be flamed for that, but I really like spiders, and everyone I live with thinks it's ok to kill them, but I don't go around killing their puppies.

Genuine photo, false description- The person in background wears something which has color of medic's suit. I suspect poor mutt was playing with what was on that hook, and that's how it ended.

I woudn't believe "The Sun".

"But other dogs and kittens have been chomped up and swallowed by sharks."

hmmm, sure sounds like work of a Pulitzer Prize winner.

You've been posting since January, you have 90 posts to your credit and you don't know what "chow" might mean. Hmmm... This site might help.

Sweet! My first spanking. Now if I could just get everyone to accept an explanation of "chow" as an actual chow, I'd only need a YOMANK for the trifecta.

I suppose I'll just have to be patient, observant and outrageously funny to do it the right way.
