For me, the bigger issue here is, how the hell can he be found fit to fly a plane again.
Firstly he has already had one heart attack, secondly he obviously can't cope with stress and thirdly he is barbaric enough to drown that poor dog and then cut it open.
Anybody going to form a queue for a free plane ride to hell?

Yes, barking dogs can drive you crackers, so you knock on the neighours door and ask them to do something about it, if it still barks all the time you then pick up the phone and call the authorities.
Oh, and a border terrier makes more noise than a big dog, much higher pitched and very persistant, never gives up. The owners are partly to blame, for the noise at least.
