With A What Sort Of Ram..?

I'm left wondering what this Yorkie has done to warrant being seized by the police. Is it a dangerous dog that has attacked someone in the street? Why have they gone above and beyond to deal with this one when the usual tattooed tharg with a pitbull generally gets a shrug of indifference?

I rather like ‘Bettering Ram’ as a term for the sort of bossy health worker (usually female, frequently large) who liberally dispenses unwanted advice - an example would be the hospital dietician who plonked herself down at the hospital bedside of a friend and, without bothering to ask about his lifestyle, immediately ordered him to cut down on meat consumption and take more exercise.

Perhaps the property was improved as a result of its use, hence the term 'bettering ram'.

It's not a danger at all - the story indicates it's more of a property dispute, with another person claiming the dog is hers. Still a puzzle why the police went in like gangbusters, though...

Yes, absolutely! 😂
