When I were a lad and a paperboy to boot, one of the things I 'ated most were those houses that 'ad stiff letterboxes, and them with dogs that would take running jump at said letter box trying to separate my fingers from my 'and. I 'ated 'em I did. So imagine, if you so please, a surge of schadenfreude fillin' my whole body when I read this little story about a daft dachshund who got injured trying to attack a leaflet stuck in 'is owner's letterbox. I loved it I did. Shame on me?
