I’d never met a Rottweiler in person before. I knew the reputation, which I think we can largely blame on The Omen.
There is, of course, no such thing as an inherently dangerous breed, and I was genuinely excited to meet Lexi. She was terrifying. Every single time I sat down to take her picture, she charged across the studio and climbed into my lap for cuddles. A real menace. The actual challenge was persuading her to stay put long enough to get the shot, but we got there in the end. Total love bug. The Omen got it very wrong.
