That may be the cruelest comment I've read on FR in a long time! Dogs are loyal, loving, intelligent, and most know how to learn new tricks. They're hardly Democrats. (Okay, we do need to work on that hand-out thing.) :-)
I have a cartoon on my fridge that has a dog holding a gun on his owners while they are eating...he tells them "Ok, Bucko, I am through begging!", LOL!
