Hello, my two cents worth: This article belongs in the OUTHOUSE, not the dog house. Next thing this women will say is that all people who own cats as pets will be considered as witches, and should be rounded up and burned at the stake.Comparing dogs to drugs and alchohol? What, is she nuts?!? .......I do have one appeal to all dog owners. Please keep your dogs under control. Don't let them run, correct your dog when it does something bad. I have had dogs, and I always kept them under control. It takes some effort and responsibilty, but would be worth it just for the positive public relations. I love all animals, but I can't even walk down my road, as Pit Bulls, Dobermans,and the like roam free. The people that own them could care less, and one neighbor actually uses the dogs to harrass their neighbors. These idiots make a bad image for the good dog owners, Maybe that's what got this lady so mad....Thanks for letting me get my two cents worth. Dogs running free, uncontrolled, and worse, is a serious issue, but comparing dogs to drugs and booze is pretty wierd.
