I agree with Cathy Bogart, if I was in the position of finding a dog a home, I would feel it's my duty to seek the best possible home. If that meant turning down a couple who'd owned dogs all their life but smoked, as opposed to a family keen on loving a pet and non-smokers, then I would do it. If the dog was a child, then surely we'd do the same thing. Now I'm not intending to compare the values of dogs and children here, but I believe that it's still a fair point to make.

I don't think it would ever come down to the likes of refusing homes because of eating fast food and such likes. You can't endanger anything else by your own eating habits. To an extent, getting high on drugs won't affect those around you unless it causes you to become abusive and violent. I don't condone those points, but I do solidly believe that smoking is the most detrimental to the health of all household inhabitants.

Very true!
