I am a dog lover and had my own dog years ago, and I understand what is necessary to maintain a dog. I dislike the disgusting couldn't care less attitude of some owners. I have no complaints of the responsible owners who have a 'pet' dog and care for it in every sense of the word. I have no time for bruiser dogs and/or their owners who in my opinion are unfit to own any animal that needs care and affection. Dog sharing is an interesting idea which might work well given the right handler, although I would be distressed to return a borrowed dog to it's owner following a run in with a bruiser variety recently mentioned on a previous thread.
