GOVERNOR Chris Patten's pair of proven biters, Whisky and Soda, have been exempted from the proposed legislation. 'The Governor's dogs are not dangerous, they are very friendly and this law won't apply to them,' a Government House spokesman said. Last month and in May the dogs bit workers at Government House. Even though the two buff-coloured terriers would fall into the 'biter' category, a department official had assured they would be exempt, according to the spokesman.
