MUST Catherine Davison (HAS, Oct 21) resort to childish name-calling to get a point across in her reply to my letter (HAS, Oct 15) about Staffordshire bull terriers?

Why am I only a “so-called adult” because I allow my one-year-old precious grandchild to play with my pet Staffie.

Can I assure her that she need not worry as I have six precious grandchildren, so if the dog gets hungry she can eat one and I’ll still have five left.

Seriously, before she gets me jailed, please understand that at all times when my grandchild plays with my Staffie she is supervised by myself, my wife, my daughter and my son-in-law and is in no danger whatsoever.
