Pets usually give without demanding.

Another line in Ray Kelly’s rap sheet??

the sins of the fath, er, owner are visited upon the pup?

There are weeks I spend more on doggie treats than on my own food. Like the old saying goes, “One day I hope to be the person that my dog thinks I am.”

Any chance these strips are a back handed slap at Police Commissioner Ray Kelly?

Absolutely there Mstreselena!

I was thinking that the problem could be that the dogs owner stole him from his original owners. Now that could be a mess.

Visit not the sins of the fathers unto the sons….I have met dogs that had behavior issues. Every time it was due to the owner’s…. well, stupidity. A dog doesn’t have the capacity for evil. Evil requires intent, and some form of personal gain, even if it is only satisfaction. A dog can be taught to behave in a manner consistent with evil. But the intent will always be traced back to a human.

Very well said, Kirk, and absolutely correct!

Not like cats, who are all born kleptomaniacs. My Zuzu (a molly) wil go straight for my dinner, even if it’s something that cats generally dislike, like salad or vegetables. While a dog will usually just"beg", the cat will jump on the table.
