Kathy Beasley, a veterinarian from the Wylie Veterinary Centre, mans a stand at an exhibition on dogs in the community held at Collier Row library, Romford Essex. The aim was to make people more aware of the real issues surrounding dog bites. 

Getting the message across is proving to be difficult. Kathy said “ people seemed interested but did not really believe their own dog had the potential to bite – the Blue dog seems good but is not necessary for me!”.
