Letters to my dog on Xmas

Your article (last Saturday) on your Rottweiler that bit your son is hilarious.  More power to your elbow.  Aliyu Abdulaziz.  NNPC, Makurdi

R-r-rottweiler!  You are the undisputed king of tabloid journalism.  You made my day with the delightful news.  You are back to your old Concord days’ style and standards. Femi Ola Martins, Lagos.  08034007020

This is a good piece of reportage of home or domestic accident for us to relax our minds and at the same time warn us of the consequences of keeping late nights as this will be common during the Xmas. Dr. Ukwu Aaron Eze, Sokoto. 08035776501

Members of your family, with the exception of your wife and the security guard, were not close to Bobby as it grew from puppy to an adult.  That is why it can attack you.  The Rott is an ugly dog and generally avoided by even its owners, unlike the better-looking Alsatian.  I have similar problems.  But note this: if it bites once, it’s likely to bite again.  Watch out!  Obi.  08033034252

Your article on Rottweiler is another sermon suitable for youths to avoid nightlife.  When a gun is shot, it is reloaded.  Your wisdom will not diminish, sir.  Fadeyibi Abimbola Felix, 08035685243
