Woof.

You wouldn't think it given the behaviour of certain Cabinet Ministers today, but there's an election on don't you know. Across the country the final blitz's are happening. With every leaflet drop comes great peril. It's a hard life for some hacks. Take Tory blogger

who didn't do too well with a large dog, his fingers and letterbox:

Can anyone out there beat that?

UPDATE 00:17: Yes apparently they can - The (very nicely) newly redesgined

ThunderDragon blog

reports:

Luckily, I didn’t put my whole hand through the letterbox, and all the dog bit was the tip of my finger as I pushed the leaflet through. Painful and rather bloody, but nothing worse than that.

Unfortunately, at the time I had no first aid kit on me or even in my car, so I ended up wrapping my finger in one my leaflets to try and staunch the blood. Of course, I didn’t let that stop me leafleting and continued until I had completed the area.

Ouch.
