After reading my above post I sound totally obsessed ......someone asked me once why I felt like I do when our country has such a bad homeless population and so many poor

....I think I feel like I do because WE do this to dogs. All they want is our love and so many are treated like prisoners and abused thru no fault of theirs. The homeless at least have choices....dogs don't. We control their lives. We call them 'Man's Best Friend' but criminals are treated better by far than a huge portion of the dog population.
sorry !! man did I go off topic there -
