I felt that local vet Dean Graulich made some very valid points in your article of Feb. 8. I feel if a dog is treated well and is given love and respect it will grow to be a loyal and a happy pet. When you see a snarling, badly behaved dog, just look at the owner! Sam Birenhaum would obviously not make a good dog owner with his comments in the Feb. 22 edition. Part of the joy of having a dog is to be able to walk it and take it places–in my opinion any pet is part of the family.
