Sir, – It is that time of year again when we read the “silly season” stories about a dog coming off second best in a confrontation with a swan protecting its young. (Home News, July 2nd).

The late Donal Foley would not have stayed mute, his pen would have been used in defence of the cob on such occasions. – Yours, etc,
PATRICK JUDGE ,
