#2 Yeah, I actually got my /. karma moved back a notch due to this topic today after I started an argument with some kook relating to the Romney dog-on-top-of-car issue. Who knew there were so many people with /. mod points that believe a friggin dog is just as important as a human family member?

#3 My dogs mean a lot to me, but as a (very low volume) show/performance dog breeder I cut pet owners some slack. Most just don't know a great deal about dog care, how to read dog behavior correctly etc. Why should they, unless they've been educated about it? Especially true a quarter of a century ago when that Romney trip happened.

It's one reason I screen prospective pet homes carefully ... the ones I want to place a dog with are the ones who will call and consult on things like how to travel with pets & whether a dog's health symptoms warrant an emergency room visit on the weekend. As a side benefit I've twice had dogs come back to me when the owner ran into life difficulties rather than have the animal dumped in a shelter. One of those is snuggled into the overstuffed chair as I type ....
