Ever have one of those "that is so wrong" moments? I had one on the way to work the other day.
I was behind a car driven by a man and his two dogs. Actually, the man was driving and the two dogs were navigating. They were hanging out the window as dogs are wont to do, but ... they were hanging out the driver's window.
And I heard myself saying it: That is so wrong.
How can you be in control of a car when you have two dogs - or even one, for that matter - in your lap? And what would happen if you get in an accident and your airbag goes off? There go your dogs, too.
Sometimes people think loving their dogs means letting them have their way all the time. They consider it a kindness to give them the freedom to do whatever they want.
I believe a happy dog is a well-behaved dog who knows his boundaries, knows what is expected of him, knows that his human loves him enough to keep him safe.
And I believe some people kill their dogs with kindness.
