Unprotected, we stand exposed to dogs!

I am under the impression that pet lovers, especially dog lovers are psychologically not in a sound state. Why else such persons shower their unconditional love on the animal than human beings?

They are shy to show their love and affection to even their spouse but they display positive emotions shamelessly towards the animal.

The reason I am talking about this is because of a news I read today in the local daily. A boy of just 10 years old fell to death while to trying to avoid the neighbor's pet dog. The resident association has issued a strong notice to the residents who own pets, to abandon their dogs immediately.

The pet owners naturally are protesting against this notice without really bothering even to apologize. They are least bothered about the safety of other residents. Rarely they train their dogs.

I have seen the indifferent attitude of the dog walkers who allow their pet to defecate as they please. Do you know about the strict laws in the U.S? The pet owners are supposed to carry tissue papers when they take their dogs for a walk!

But then India is India and Indians are after all Indians-right? There is a strong need to educate pet owners and still a stronger need to introduce various legislation in this vexing issue.
