I agree. Having a choke chain as a permanent collar is EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS!!!!!!!! Responsible dog owners should know better. Every time I see a dog with a choke chain on as a collar, I immedently tell the owner haw dangerous it can be, and to get a real collar, and I also tell them that wearing a choke chain all the time, can lead to death!!! AdoreMyDogs, you're soooooooooo lucky you found Remmy when you did, because I could've been to late, and his choke chain could've gotten caught on something!! If you see Remmy again tell him my Lab Sadie and I say Hi!!!
