You would be surprised how many people "think" that it is only the dog that needs to be trained. Sorry if you took offense - it was not meant to impugn your belief system or perspective. However, there are too many animals dumped as trash here (and in many other parts of the world) through no fault of their own - only because the "human" component couldn't or wouldn't learn to cope.

I tend to take the animal side because they have no voice of their own with the aforementioned "humans".

I am sure that you are of that part of humanity that looks upon pet ownership as a responsibility and not a short term right until bored or annoyed.
