Well, matey, I couldn't agree with you more!

There are three things (mainly...well, you know me and actually it's loads of things...but three common things) that really make my hackles rise when people obviously do love their dogs but just don't treat them like they deserve to be treated. (That's like dogs, in case you were wondering!)
1. A dog pulling on the lead and getting jerked and shouted at with little or no effect.
2. A dog begging at the table or anytime it hears the rustle of a bag.
3. A fat dog.

This is not love but ignorance. Ignorance in this context is the neglect to care for the animal. Neglect is cruelty. It drives me crazy that people can watch their much loved dog struggle to get through the day and still say that's OK as long as it has it's biscuits before bedtime. Agggghhhh!
