please. i'm sure that stat can be easily spun to show it's irresponsible dog owners that get their dogs run over.
bottomline, there is absolutely ZERO reason for me to have that done to my dog. end of discussion.

I didn't realize it was a money issue. I'm saying that male dogs who haven't been neutered are more likely to find a way to get free and run off to find a mate. The stat makes sense.
Actually, my Lab's playbuddy has his nuts, and the owner tells me he tries to run out the door any opportunity he gets. He's chased him around the neighborhood many times. My boy won't leave unless I put a leash on him and lead him outside.
Which dog is more likely to get hit by a car? Like I said, that stat makes sense.
I'm not going to say you're a bad dog owner. Maybe you've got him well trained and he can use restraint, but believe me, he wants to get some -- but you don't bring him to the doggie whorehouse, to relieve the stress, do you?
