There are lessons here for all new (and some not so new) dog owners.

Most doggy problems arise because us humans just have to anthropomorphise everything. If you put yourself in the place of your dog and see it as a dog then a lot of it is common sense. Sadly people rush into to buying pets without doing much if any research and then wonder why it's all going wrong. The people who should read stuff like this are exactly the kind that won't.

d'uh so what else is new?

Why is this surprising, I thought most people knew that dogs are pack animals and prefer company, the domestic ones having the company of people. I personally think it's unfair to have a dog if you are out all day and leave it at home. The poor animals needs contact, not to be home alone for long periods IMO.

We would never leave our Wolfies alone all day, if we cant take them for some reason we arrange a baby sitter! But generally they would come with us.

Agree classylady. Never went anywhere without any of my dogs if it was possible to take them with me, and it usually was.

Surely they are trying to tell us that Timmy is trapped in the well! ;)
