I love dogs. They are so "human." I mean, think of it, what animal has been gazing adoringly at us and learning all about us for 10,000 years! With out dogs, we would not be human and without humans dogs would not be dogs. There is a very close and unbreakable relationship. I am absolutely stunned and angry when people mistreat dogs. When retired, I WILL foster and re-home dogs-- several a year-- not enough to be known as a crazy dog lady.
