    Could "Service Dog" Programs Be Good for Both Dogs and Veterans?

    Very interesting point. I always kind of squirmed whenever I heard of those programs with service dogs that were "bred" with the "right characteristics" to be service dogs. It was always an awkward warm, fuzzy feeling for those benefitting from having the dogs and then a strange not-sure-this-is-okay feeling for the dogs. I think you hit it on the nose. I support what you're saying.


    This article talks about prison dogs programs that are brought in to get basic training so they can find adoptive families and KEEP those homes. In the process of getting what they need, the dogs help out with the prisoners' rehabilitation. Sounds like good programs to me http://bit.ly/1rwfCp

    The Killing of the Misunderstood 3,500: Denver's Pit Bull Ban

    There are so many amazing pitties out there that have done nothing but love their owners. Aggression can happen in all dog breeds, but more than likely it's the unfortunate result of an owner not prepared to manage the needs of a dog (dogs are not humans), let alone a strong breed like a Pit Bull. Here's another article on breed-specific legislation http://bit.ly/BreedLegis
