[AT] Dogs

[HaliganBar at aol.com]

When I was traveling in Europe I was struck by the number of well behaved 
dogs that I saw everywhere. People routinely take their dogs with them when they 
go out. It was very common to see dogs on the subway or even in restaurants. 
They were always well mannered with both people and other dogs. I did notice 
that when on the subway the dogs would wear a muzzle that looked like a wire 
basket. It allowed them to pant, bark, or drink water but no chance of biting 
anything. It's a shame that dogs are not more welcome in businesses here in the 
U.S. Although is sounds like you and your dog are well respected and welcome 
around your town. Good job Warren!

<< I posted summer before last about the loss of my 13 y.o. Dalmation, Shiner,
 and how much it hurt. I may have posted a couple of months or so ago that I
 found a good yellow lab puppy(Tater) who has quickly become one of the
 family. I am blessed to be able to take him to work and anywhere else I go.
 He's been in Walmart, Tractor Supply and several fine restaurants here in
 town.
 
 Dogs are absolutely the best companion anyone can have. Tate doesn't care
 how bad my day went, what I messed up, how late I come home, or anything
 else- he's just glad to see me and glad for the companionship.
 
 I have really enjoyed this thread about good dogs. >>
