WaStryill4tO be a $004 boy,, love you. MY name IS Mark Nolen, I Mark Nolan inn 6 Years old. We you bring Walton, Adog loves. Sooner or later, I had to get around tO th topic of dos ownership. ain a dog .gwner, a title of responsibility that Is approached ht various degrees by different individuals. My problem is that tend to treat animals as human entities, and try to raise them accordingly. But this problem is not one that I'd willingly solve, if it meant gividg up the loving restions,e --thatshinesfrom my terrier's ey.es. Truly', a deg is the only thing On earth that loves you more than it loves itself. Eavesdrop with me on a rerun of a recent telephone conversation. "We won't. see you today. We're off to get a new dog." "Oh (pause), what happened to your old one?" - "Nothing. He's still here,. but we've advertised him in a couple of places. You wouldn't know of anyone who'd like a nice pet, would you?" "But what's the matter with him? You jut gOt him a few months ago." . "Oh, I know - but he won't stay at home nights. He's always off running with qther dogs. Why, last week, he was clear down. to the end of the next concession with ca whole group Of them. I had an awful time tracking him down. He just won't 'stay at home." "Well, why don't you tie hint up?" "You can't really mean that. He's a farm dog, and he should know enough to stay around. Besides it's creel to have a dog tied up, and when we try, he just sits Ili -ere and cries to get into the house." "Well, why don't you let him in?" Pot . °urn by Jenne, Kirkb.y we can , that. He isn't hoese- broken. C he trusted, .you know."' I'M ON THE DOG'S SIDE . Call me ableeditig heart if you Will, but 1 ,te_ndlo come 'out on the dog's side. I mean,. from the animal'ipoint of a view if you can't be allowed into a warm house once In a while, why not take off? And if no one cares enougp about your safety, or the consequences of your behaviour, to know where you are, (by rope or chain if necessary) so. what? Just like a bad kid, you'll go out and raise hell- when nature beckons! and your friends are calling. If people are going to have pets, especially dogs, a definite COMITIl tment is necessary to ensure that the animal has a halfway decent life, and doesn't become a public nuisance. A dog is like a child, in that it responds to the owner's moods and tone. Love and • attention, seasoned with discipline, are essential for responsive and confident growth. Cats are different - you can't hurt a cat's feelings, or count on them to come when called. Bit a dog Reeds time..talking to, and -training and if your lifestyle can't be expanded to include this, you'd be wise to consider a cat, or even goldfish instead.

Is it any FiwoCnindeEr tOhaW:rwonR ourareais such a fertile place for the spread of deadly rabies? What protection does any animal have against fickle owners, and discarded pets? Our county Health Unit does its part by sponsoring and advertising free anti -rabies clinics in the community. We Must do our part too, by making sure that every pet is respousibly cared for, by controlling their behaviour in consideration of others, and by making sure that they do not produce unwanted offspring. Second telephone conversation, some time later: "I just thought that You'd like to kilow; We have the new pup home, and he's settling in nicely.

"Oh, we'll think about it, but he--seeins awfully warm in the house.-Almostas soon as we brought him in, he started to pant.

"Why don't you use that old animal crate; the one that you have in the shed? You know, if you used it as a bed, you could train him quite quickly. A pup won't soil . his sleeping quarters, and you could take him out frequently." "Oh, we'll think aboikt it. Right now, we're getting ready to go out for the evening." • "Well, you could take him out now, and then let him nap in the crate until you come , back. That 'would be a good start.". - "Maybe' we'll "try tomorrow. He'll be okay here by the stove for tonight. Porbably won't even wake up. Anyway, we have to hurry! I s there a pattern here? Why d.. I feel like rushing oat and dognapping the little animal to begin a regular training program? But you can't do things like that; feelings haye to be considered and all.
