My Thatcherite mutt

SIR: In your splendid article ‘Mad about the dog’ (January issue) one dog was described as a ‘socialist’. My dog is not. She is a committed Thatcher voter. She likes order and dislikes change. She is very territorial and property-conscious, and hates the working classes, e.g. postmen and dustmen. And she can bite. R J Roscoe, Armathwaite, Carlisle.
