The dogs worked in exemplary fashion, a grip, a toss and it was all over for the rat.
The ratting dogs were typically Terrier breeds, which included, but were not limited to, the Bull and Terrier, Bull Terrier, Fox Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rat Terrier, Manchester Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Billy's career was crowned on April 22, 1823, when a world record was set with a hundred rats killed in five-and-a-half minutes.
People were simply becoming too sophisticated, too wise to all his old cons, and Billy found it hard to adapt to a generation that didn't flinch from the concept of CD ROMs and laptop computers; a generation that considered UNIVAC in terms of a household suction device.
Billy Sweet knew all the angles, all the cons, and his banter was pure machine gun.
Billy tried desperately to mime that he had nothing to do with what the dog had said, but even if the fuming, aging, gangster understood the convulsive body language, was he going to believe that the dog actually said those things itself?
