I was listening to a radio show that was gearing up for a big dog/cat adoption drive. The topic was about how people don't like going to shelters because it is depressing to see all the dogs who need homes. The radio host told the following story. He said he went to a shelter a few years ago and was surprised to hear classical music being played in one of the kennel area where 12 dogs were being housed. He asked the shelter employee if the dogs liked classical music. The worker responded that it didn't tmake much difference except for Chuck. He explained that Chuck gets surly when they play rock music and pointed to Chuck, a large GSD, so we all have to listen to it. I doubt the story was true but leave it to a GSD to want a little class, LOL! Laura Thomas ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
