The Ugly Truth

Thank god somebody has finally had the courage to speak the ugly truth about dogs, those omnipresent love objects that attack four million Americans each year, most of them little children. That grow fat while third world children starve. That pollute the world with their offensive noises and droppings. Those pampered pets that spread disease and breed without restraint. This book should be required reading for all dog owners, though it probably wouldn't do any good. As the author concludes: "The prospect of educating today's adult pet owners to be responsible for their pets' behavior is dismal. It is like coming upon a tribe of savages and trying to talk to them about sanitation, public health, pollution, and social responsibility." I wish I could give this book ten stars. It is a voice in the wilderness that desperately needs to be heard.
