"Lets not even continue with this thread as clearly most of the posters here, bar a few, don't know much about owning dogs or really care that they are the most loving creatures God put on this earth.... as they say, 'ignorance is bliss'

Lets just hope we never come across these people while walking our pets, as it would seem like we, and our babies stand a chance of being shot, if certain posts are to be believed...."

Well said Xena, I completely agree. The dog haters on this said obviously don't know much about dogs or cats for that matter. But then who are we to attempt to educate. I am happy in the knowledge that I was blessed with parents that educating me to respect and above all understand animals; and any risks involved from a young age. My daughter was taught this from the moment she started crawling and you know what?...she knows how to behave around dogs she does not know, which in return keeps her safe from any possible harm. The sad thing is that aggresive dogs are the results of bad humans; and all you have to do is watch the news every day to see that it's humans that are more 'beastly' than dogs will ever be.

Anyway, I've always liked animal lovers better. They are just more caring, more giving and generally funnier people. I've always instinctively stayed away from people that do not like animals.

So hey, no loss for us :) Take care and have a wonderful day. X
