I believe some dogs are smarter than their owners and that some people shouldn't own a dog. I like watching most shows that show the skill or beauty of their dogs. I also believe that if I wanted to buy a full blooded dog, I should do my homework and read up on the dog. I believe there are many people who raise and sell dogs who know what they are doing and because they love animals. I lived in a city for most of my life and now that I retired, I live in a small town of about maybe 500 people. I have three large dogs all about 75-80 lbs, that are sisters. I keep them fenced in my yard, the problem I have is that many of these people are still living in the Stone Age. Some times I see as many as 14-15 dogs running loose in one day. I doubt that some of these people take their dogs to get their yearly shots and if it gets ran over by a car "Oh well", they go get another one from the dog pound just to shut their kid up. If the dogs have a disease they come sniffing through the fence and now my dog gets to share the same ailment. Luckily, my dogs are not real sociable with others dogs and they pretty much will chase them away. The "Animal Control" is in the town next to us about 10 miles away. They expect me to go outside take a picture of the loose dogs and e-mail it to them before they will come out here. I suggested to them that they come here regularly and catch all the loose dogs, but what I get from them is that these people are too poor to afford paying for bailing their dogs out. I know a lot of the people in this town, most work in the mines and make fair money, they seem to like their new Cadillacs or L[ncolns so they are not starving. Well, I guess the next best thing is to let them run loose without shots and just wait until the next car runs them over... ingenious!
