Thanks Alicia! Pitchick is right however, we ALL should print that out, post it on every telephone pole in a neighborhood where "outside" dogs live, stuff mailboxes, hand it to strangers on the street! Here on pet talk, it's like preaching to the choir!!

When I was young, I wanted a dog so bad and my parents wouldn't let me get one (they finally gave in when I was 8!) So I would go all around the neighborhood with the hot dogs every mother of 3 young children has in the fridge and hand them out to all the dogs tied up outside people's houses. Sometimes I would even let them off of their chains and walk them around the streets. Once my mother found me at 7 years old with 3 "outside" dogs in the garage, a Great Dane (Jesse) a German Shepard (Taco, have no idea why his name was Taco?) and a mixed breed dog(Coco), playing Barbies. Oh the innocence of childhood, I was an angel to "outside" dogs.
Let's all be angels to them now when we can make a difference!!
