DISGRUNTLED READERS WANT DOG BACK

By Press Gazette

Barking mad at loss of our favourite pet From: Issy Shannon Subject:
Dog Why, oh why, have you dropped dog? My favourite feature in PG, axed
without reason or even an apology. I’m sick as a parrot.

I’m sure
you will be inundated with protests from outraged readers demanding an
explanation for this mad act. Robert Maxwell had the right idea: I
would be only too happy to accompany you in a dinghy down the Thames.

PG without a dog? Like spotted dick without the dick.

Shannon Hebden Bridge West Yorkshire Dropping dog is a bone of
contention From: Neil Hopkins Subject: Dog Here boy! Biscuits! Come
back, please! Do I need to get a rolled up newspaper?

Please
reinstate dog. Do I have to beg, or roll on my back before doing a
double backflip with half pike through a ring of fire, only to put my
paw on the best fabric conditioner ever?

Neil Hopkins Assistant
PR officer Arun District Council Please paws for thought Piers From:
Noel Cashmore Subject: Dog By axeing dog, you have shot yourself in
both feet. You have lost me forever, and I fancy you don’t have so many
readers that you can afford to alienate those that remain. Tell Piers
this is the silliest decision of the many he has made.
