As an aside comment on Birdland's post regarding Tolkien and the English class system, it used to be said that the English preferred their dogs to their children. That is why they have a NationalSociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children , but a RoyalSociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals! (I'm British by the way).
