Molly,

I think it's an excellent letter. When I was looking up the
San Diego animal laws, I came accross an account of a Choc
Lab, 10 years old, who was in his own back yard & was
attacked by a lose Pet Bull Terrior. The account of the attack
said the Lab offered no resistance to the Terrior, but was
mortally injured by the attack.His Vet could not save him and
the Lab's owners had him mercifully put down. People ought
to realize that if you keep a dog, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
IT'S ACTIONS. This incident happened May 1, 2002 in San
Diego. Hopefully letters will serve as a wake-up call to the
local officials that cases like this can't be treated lightly. We
have to make a big "stink" about it to get their attention.
I am sending several letters. Thanks for composing it. Liz.
