reality check please John. What is all the fuss about a dog that is loved,warm,well fed,watered and exercised.I believe many dogs left in cold kennels, on decks or in houses alone ALL day while their care givers have to go to work, would love to swap places.
In fact many people would prefer a different lifestyle in a perfect world eg not have to sit in front of a computer all day or spend time sitting in cars on the motorway. I am sure they would prefer to be home with their animals (and families!) but how would they then provide the food and shelter to survive?
