Catherine Lawton-Anderson, for one, bristles with indignation. "I take great exception to that," she says. "They are implying that a poodle is a wimp. It's not a wimp. My God, it's not a wimp. I'll tell you, a poodle will stand its ground. Our Giggsy has taken on a Rottweiler, an akita and a pointer. And she's not aggressive – the other dogs approached her first. People who say Tony Blair is George Bush's poodle are implying that he's George Bush's lapdog. I agree with that, actually – I think Blair's lost the plot – but in no way is a poodle a lapdog. You should never say that."
