What will it take before people realize these laws are completely useless and enacting them only serves to tie responsible owner’s hands behind their backs?

Not to mention it creates public image their dogs are dangerous and potentially vicious. This creates further problems for owners because their neighbors become afraid and call for their removal from neighborhood.

Some might think this is a paranoid outlook on situation. Tell that to woman whose Bull Terrier was set on fire in Germany soon after country enacted its breed specific legislation.

Will you sit back and let this happen?

Even if you do not share your life with American Pit Bull Terrier or a dog on these breed specific lists, it is your duty as a dog owner to do something about it.

What are you waiting for?

Creature comforts

I was told that most humans have jobs, so I understand that you'll be spending time away from me. If you could see your way clear to leaving a few creature comforts behind, it would really help. First, I don't want to hog your people furniture—it's too big for me anyway. I could use one of those nice, comfy doggie beds. Floors are meant to be walked on, not lounged upon. I know that there are a number of places that I should not go when you're gone, so spray that indoor repellent, and I'll learn first time. I'm a quick study—something about Pavlov!

Dogs in toyland

Toys will help me pass time, assist me in my development, and most importantly, distract me from fact that you're not here. I could have some REAL fun if you'd get me my very own cat, but I realize that is not likely. Here is a list of things that I would really, really enjoy if you cannot get me my own cat:

 A nice supply of those rubber, chewy thingies  Squishy, squeaky, talking toys  Rawhide chews, dental chews, anything that I will mistake for a bone  Treats, treats, and more treats – a never-ending supply of treats

Special occasion gifts

You humans have your porches, your patios and your tree houses. I would give my doggie eye teeth for my very own dog house. You could have Santa deliver it in time for holidays, or you save it for a birthday treat. Either way, it'll give me my own little hideaway and protect me from elements, should you take temporary leave of your human senses and leave me outside while you run one of your many errands. If you can't swing canine estate just yet, maybe we could negotiate a doggie door?

Above all, I require same devotion and attention that you expect from me. Treat me right, and I'll be your best friend for life.

Love and kisses,

Your beloved doggie
