German: I saw this Sputnik-looking doggie in America...really , I did. :-)
I know..the whole encounter with them was really funny....
Actually when I had my dog fixed, that was the first time I had ever seen one of those collars...I thought she would fuss about having it on...but she never did...acted like it was not even there...she was a really laid back dog, and as long as she got attention, love, and lots of food, she did not care what anyone put on her...actually with that collar on, she did receive extra attention from other people who saw her...she no doubt, loved it, and maybe appreciated the collar for grabbing extra attention from strangers...
When the vet took the collar off, she thought my dog would express some happiness at having the thing off...but my dog gave no response at all...she just did not care, one way or another if she was wearing that collar or not...
