Sigh...I loved your letter, but disagree with this statement. I have given lots of dogs away, they were fantastic homes...lots of people have given me dogs.. I am a good home also, but maybe not fantastic, LOL. The quality of the person is what determines their care and treatment of dogs, or anything else for that matter. Lots of folks pay fortunes for dogs, and neglect and /or abuse them... Money has nothing to do with what kind of person you are...Shalom, Syd In a message dated 6/29/2009 7:07:51 A.M.
