Doggy Doo-Doo

Scott,

It's disappointing you perpetuate the attitude of dumping dogs at the pound for misbehaving one too many times. I don’t know if it’s about your ‘country lad off the farm’ persona. As a volunteer at my local pound, I know that if people took time to train their animals we wouldn’t see 200,000 dogs euthanised each year. I usually enjoy your content, but it’s a shame to read this coming from one who advocates taking personal responsibility.

Hi Jenny,

Woof! I really deserved that. This week I’ve been chased around my inbox by dog-lovers from across the country. (To clarify, last week I stepped in some doggy-doo-doo by making a very poor analogy that a home isn’t like a pet you can drop off at the pound.)

For the record I totally love my two dogs, Buffett and Betty, and I apologise unreservedly.

Scott
