I was helping hold a dog down for a younger girl that was trying to get fleas off the dog (Phillibsburg beach). It touched me that she knew how to do that. But what she said to me floored me. She said she hates to see dogs that get adopted by the US. She says those dogs are thrown in a dumpster and shot dead. I told her I adopted a dog from SXM, he is a very much loved boy to us, and where did she hear such a thing. She was resolute in her belief, but I said every one I know is kind to animals, even if they don't have animals themselves. My dog that I adopted (don't know the breed -- we call it an island dog) has climbed trees, can jump up and down retaining walls, can run faster than any football player, but is also the most loyal and lovable dog we have. Now if I could ever learn dog language, he is very talkative.
