The Dogs Aren't the Problem

And while I'm at it, another nice piece of work by Mr. Balko is this blog entry, "When Dogs are Criminalized, Only Criminals will own Dogs". Sad story for a lot of dogs that will be killed off, it seems more because of irresponsible owners who sometimes train them to be dangerous and government leaders who are clueless about what to do about it, than because of any inherent danger in the so-called "breed". (For more info on this type of dog, see the Wikipedia entry, which includes a discussion of common myths.)
