Dogs Are People Too...Almost!

You know them. They're the family with fifteen dogs that all the
neighbors hate. Their dogs run all over the neighborhood and are
largely responsible for the local canine population explosion.
When neighbors aren't at their door complaining about the little
reminders left behind by the annoying pets, the animal control
people are making a warning stop or pick-up. It's the terror of
irresponsible dog owners!
Your neighbor has retired from challenging five hundred ton
tanker ships with a rowboat and taken up the cause of rescuing
all the stray dogs within a five hundred mile radius of their
house. Unfortunately, you live next store to this wannabe animal
rescue center that smells like a collapsed septic tank. It's the
horror of the doggie do-gooder!
The people with that extra bit of property discover that people
admire the five or six dogs they have running around the place.
When puppy litters come along, they make a quick buck

by selling
the pups. Some of the dogs are purebred, others aren't, but they
all bring in some extra cash when puppies come along. Before you
know it, the place is awash in purebred and mixed breed dogs
that look cute and make the family extra money. Neighbors start
to complain, so the dogs are caged. But when litters aren't just
right around the corner, it becomes hard to feed and care for
the animals. They are neglected and some are let loose to lessen
the burden on the family. A typical puppy mill is born and adds
to the stray problem in town. It's the nightmare of the
brainless breeder!
Has anyone ever noticed that society works because of a thing
called BALANCE? People balance their rights with the rights of
other people and living things to co-exist in the fairest way
possible. But life isn't always fair. If it was, we would all be
living a perfect existence just the way we imagined it to be.
Sometimes life deals people and animals

a low blow that they
never recover from. While we can all pitch in and make life a
little easier for people or animals down on their luck, we
cannot take over their responsibilities when it comes to living.
That crosses the line of balance.
Today's dog owners have benefited from lessons learned by
society over the past one hundred years. Gone are the days when
every yard had some huge mutt chained to a tree whose diet
consisted of mail carriers who moved a bit too slow, table
scraps and some defrosted, forgotten meat left too long in the
back of the freezer. But not everyone has gotten the message.
There are still plenty of people that just keep going to the
pound, paying their fifty bucks and bringing home dogs that they
have no intention of properly caring for.
Pet owners who take care to adopt animals that are appropriate
for their situation, purebred pet owners and legitimate breeders
constantly face the wrath of local

officials who find themselves
under-budgeted and understaffed trying to deal with a growing
stray dog problem. Law after law is passed demanding that pet
owners and breeders act responsibly toward their animals. In
many areas it's now a felony to own a pet without taking proper
care of them. Up to date vaccinations, a safe and clean
environment and available food and water are a given to most
responsible pet owners, but others just don't get it!
Pet ownership of any kind is a sacred responsibility. You have
taken a living thing with feelings and a personality into your
care. You can't save every pet on the planet or do very much
about the idiots that think of their animals as lawn ornaments
and abuse them. What you can do is make sure that you set an
example for others by treating your pet with love and respect.
Dogs are intelligent creatures that are able to show affection
and receive it. Bring balance to your home by purchasing

or
adopting a pet that fits into your environment without
overwhelming it. Treat your pet as you would any other member of
the household (unless members of your household happen to
resemble characters from a Stephen King novel).
I often hear people saying that they have a problem pet. But
more often then not, it's the owner who has created the problem.
For example, large dogs that bark a lot may do so because they
lack enough space to run around in. They become frustrated and
take to venting their frustrations through their snouts. Smaller
dogs sometimes bark a lot because they feel unsettled or
threatened. It may be that their owner just doesn't spend enough
time playing with them.
Dogs are people too, almost, and should not have to exist in
poor conditions because of the wacky whims of their owners. No
one is saving the doggie world by having twenty-five animals

or
veterinary care. People who bring a Great Dane into a yard
perfect for a toy Poodle should be stuffed in a car trunk for a
few years to see how they like it. Dog owners who make monthly
trips to the pet adoption center because their last one ran away
again should try adopting some intelligence. Backyard breeders
who go through a steady stream of strays for quick puppy litters
and a fast buck should be spayed or neutered.
Don't miss out on the pet ownership experience of a lifetime by
taking on more dog then you can handle or subjecting your animal
to your own pet passions.
