Mother tends to blame everyone besides the Airedale for his actions. Mother once told the iceman “if you didn’t think he would bite you, he wouldn’t.” She once told the police “they scream and that excites him.” Therefore, she considered it was their own fault for getting bit in the first place.When Muggs bit the Congressman mother blamed it on his horoscope. Therefore, mother grew an attachment to the Airedale and refused to condone that Muggs would bite people without a reason.
