I was dodging raindrops and puddles as I walked the short distance to my office. As I was passing a local house, I saw an elderly woman standing near the entrance holding an umbrella over her little white puppy. Unfortunately, the umbrella wasn’t large enough to cover both her and the dog, so she was getting soaked.
Dog owners would like to know how to take care of a dog. They certainly want to know about dog care as they wish their dogs to live comfortable life like themselves.
When it comes to a pet you can own that can enhance your life, there are few out there that can match up to the domestic dog. Dogs can become effective work animals such as in herding situations or as seeing eye dogs.
When people choose to own a dog they are responsible for it. Apart from the moral responsibility, the owner is required to provide: Adequate food daily. Free access to clean drinking water at all times. Shelter from the elements and sufficient exercise. Control of the dog for it’s own safety. Veterinary care as required.
Imagine for a moment it’s ten o’clock at night and you are getting ready to climb into bed. Your four year old collie mix comes into the room, goes to a corner and starts vomiting. You can see her belly and rib cage contracting violently as she vomits on your rug. Your first thought is what a mess and you yell at the dog to stop. But she can’t.
