Commentary: It’s surprising just how much of today is loaded with Victoriana. Even dogs are affected. At least - the ones we saw. For it was the Victorians who first believed in corrective training - and that belief is now successfully applied to canine offenders. At the Dogs’ Borstal near Watford, savage dogs are given the Approved School treatment to make them mend their ways. It works, too. Hundreds of snarling "criminals" have been redeemed from the dog-house. - Keywords
