Here in the Phillipines we have mad problems with stray dogs and unwanted dogs with lots of health problems, and sometimes they even spread diseases to our pet dogs. It sucks. Oh yes, we do have dog overpopulation here, too. It's very sad. What? Spay my rottie bitch so she can't have puppies that I can neither afford to care for nor will be able to find homes for??! But I want to be a grandfather!!!! What you suggest is preposterous! Extra-special bonus snark because I care:
Dear woman in the park this morning,
I have a couple of handy tips for you. First of all, if your dog does not have a perfect heel, how about not letting him off his leash in the part of the park that runs next to a road? Secondly, when you are finally able to call your dog back from running around in the middle of the street, it is extremely counterproductive to then smack the shit out of it and yell at it a lot. I'm sure when your hyper chocolate lab is knocking over small children like bowling pins because you can't recall it to save your life, you'll just complain that you can't possibly be expected to walk your dog on a leash because it's just sooooo hard and putting leashes on dogs is totally cruel, but smacking them upside the head when they heed a command is totally humane. You suck and I hate you.
No love whatsoever,
Me.
