Man has always shared a special relationship with dogs, there is no other species closer to us than our K-9 friends. I am 53 years old and dogs and sports have always been the background music in my life. The most incredible dog that I have ever meet is a black lab named Woodson....Woodson is a guide dog who provides the eyes for my ex-wife when she walks the streets of San Jose CA. If the politicians backing AB whatever get their way dogs like Woodson could become harder to find.....what about if there were no Lassie, no Rin Tin Tin, no Bengii, no Spud McKenzie, no police dogs, no service dogs, no military dogs, no guide dogs, no search and rescue dogs, no family pets....yes it is true man has not always done right by our truest and most loyal friend....but California's solution to slowly eliminate them is both outrageous and shameful...if anyone knows when and where the Rally against this shameful bill in Sacramento is tomorrow please let me know, how could I not go, the existence of my best friends are at stake...Lassie come home, but don't come to California.......Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
