Dog Rentals

Subject: Dog rentals

This is the most ridiculous thing ever for animals. What kind of person rents a dog and how in the world would you ever know how it's being treated while they have it? I truly understand missing having a dog around if you had one and are too busy to keep a dog full time. But consider the dog....
AND how confusing for the animal to have lots of different people with lots of different training methods (I believe thats a stretch of the imagination thinking dog renters know how to train the animal.)

And where do these dogs come from? I mean, would you ever let someone rent a dog you loved or even cared about? How do you know the person won't let the dog loose? Or abuse it? Or just not give a damn what happens to it?

I'm sorry, but as an animal lover, this is one of the most aggravating and disturbing ideas imaginable. :thumbdown:

Point taken. I just read the article, but still have reservations on several different levels.
But I certainly can understand needing the bonding that can be done only with animals.
So here's a mea culpa to you. :roll:
