[nagdu] When is the Connection Too Much?

[Doug Parisian]

Indeed, it is truly amazing the number of incompetent dog owners walk this 
earth; I feel sorry for the poor animals for having masters too stupid 
and/or lazy to recognize the importance of proper dog socialization.  I've 
met some of those banana brains who warn me as I approach that their dogs 
don't like other dogs.  Since my animal is under control, I suggested in not 
too polite terms that they either do the same or go home.  And now, I have a 
very strong law about which I spoke previously on this list to support me 
should either animal or human run any unwanted interference with my service 
animal.  We have probably one of the more progressive pieces of legislation 
in north America in this regard which I have previously shared with the list 
by the provision of a link to this Manitoba law.
