the best way to get over the death of a dog is to get another one. and always buy from a good breeder as that is the best way to keep dogs out of shelters..

Thanks Mr. Kawaler. I know several people who are role-models of logic and reason, but when it comes to their beloved pet - act like they have brain damage. While dog-sitting my favorite dog in the world (He treated me like family), I placed him under house-arrest and made him go for walks inside the closed garage. Reason- he protected me from a “evil attacker running towards me” -aka a jogger whose intent was to jog past me. He also protected me from trespassers - aka, other dogs going for walks. This dog was a rescue dog - aka foster child with a history of unknown abuse. Until humans learn to speak “ruff ruff”, we will be handicapped At communication.

I hear Korea is mulling over banning dog farms. Would be a real shame!

Well done, Mr. Kawaller, well done. I did something I rarely do while reading: laughed out loud.

Most grateful for your sense of humor. Mostly appalled by your experience with 4-legged live ins.

Thank you for a much needed funny and lighthearted story riddled with some good old smart sarcasm, so misunderstood and underrated in this part of the world. We need more of this, please.

I, at first, scrolled past this article because I thought it would be an animal-worship piece. But how refreshing this is. I’ve been a dog person my whole life, had a bird (never do it), hamsters, etc., and have even take care of my daughter’s cat while being allergic. But all the love and grief about pets people have posted on social media, not to mention all the money spent on dog walkers and doggie day care, has made me wonder if anyone actually has realized they are animals. This is a long way of saying, I loved this article.
