I like dogs.

I think lots of other people do too.

But there are many people who, without exposure to dogs, think that all dogs are basically just waiting to eat children or defecate on their nature strip.

They're wrong pal.

Dogs offer humans a lot more than violence and shit.

Children who grow up with dogs have better immune systems.

Hospital patients with exposure to dogs get better sooner.

The guide dog?, The sniffer dog?, The bestest pal dog?

Dogs are good beasties.

And just because some people are not interested in caring for an animal that is capable of reducing taxes, helping sick people get better, Blind people get about or just making getting up in the morning a new thrill every day, doesn't mean they're entitled to hassle dog owners as if it was a pet tiger.

Frankly, it's just not on.
