After two weeks of being...

Canine ownership on the island as we know is very high in relation to most other countries.Obviously resulting in beware of the dog signs on many front gates.But how about this one i saw recently which i thought very creative.....My huge nasty bad tempered dog can make it from my door to these gates...
