OK, maybe it's actually dog-owners I object to?

Yep, it's the dog owner... A well trained dog will never go to you unless you ask him to. A well groomed dog doesn't smell, nor does it have fleas. And a well trained owner understands that not everybody likes or isn't afraid of dogs.

Hmm, I'd go for the English Cocker Spaniels... They are more ferocious! (and they never bumped their noses against a brick wall...)

I've been wondering about the usefulness of mosquitoes myself. I just can't find a reason they exist. Sharks are useful, bees, wasps, even spiders and ants are useful. But mosquitoes???
So, they get my vote.
