IT was interesting to read your previous correspondence concerning noisy dogs.
However, I would like to argue, if I may, that real countryside dogs are often quite capable of living more or less silently (save as 'genuine burglar alarms'), and many working dogs are spectacularly useful; whereas, of course, it is true that the only possible raison d'etre of constantly barking town dogs is to torture neighbours.
Needless to add, it is not the fault of the dogs themselves.
