Antigua shooting: Caribbean tourists need not panic - Telegraph: "have just returned from a family holiday in Barbados and at no point did I feel I was in any danger, nor, more importantly, did I feel my wife and teenage daughters were unsafe. In fact, at the Friday night Bajan jump-up, the Oistin Fish Fry, which is a marvellous swirl of drinking, dancing, eating and ear-splitting soca music, my daughters went off into the crowds and, on return, remarked that they felt much safer there than they would have done at a similar gathering in London."
I came face to face today with a vicious Akita,me and my little girl, luckily I had her in my arms while we were about to walk through the West Terrace district.We came around a corner and there was this huge Akita.It was actually taller than my little girl.She would have been looking it straight in the face. Now I am naturally afraid of dogs even the smallest of Chihuahuas.I avoided eye contact with the dog although peripherally I could see that he stopped and looked up at me.I continued walking calmly as though there was no threat about. Why do I say he was vicious? That is what I am hearing from people living in the area.Maybe he was just out of his territorial zone but I hope his owners keep in fenced in a lot better.That is something that I wouldn't want to happen again. Just a few months ago a child was mauled by an Akita.There was a time when the main dogs you used to encounter was the 'lowly' salmon tot retriever;A unique Barbados mongrel.Such is not the case now.To
