Hi,

I bookmarked that article several days ago & I've been really
thinking about what he said in it. While I find myself agreeing
with almost every point, this is my stumbling block,


"Guardianship, a word always applied to human beings, implies equality—the highest and perhaps most noble of all goals in this democratic nation. Ownership implies responsibility. Americans who own dogs need to be more responsible for them, literally and emotionally—not more equal to them. "


In my mind, guardianship does not mean equality. If it were
equal, it wouldn't need guardship. Guardian means responsibilty.
So, other than that I agree with most other points he makes.
