TO POOR MUMS:

THE GREAT DANES FROM D.C. METRO AND THE FULL-GROWN, UNSPAYED ROTTWEILERS WERE QUITE FRIENDLY, OBEDIENT FOR ME, BUT THEIR OWNERS MENTIONED THINGS, SUCH AS DOG FIGHTS WHERE THEIR SUPPOSEDLY GENTLE DOGS WERE AGGRESSIVELY KILLING OTHER ROTTWEILER DOGS.

NOW, I THINK IT'S BEST TO CHOOSE A WELL-SOCIALIZED, BABY, GUINEA PIG FROM THE ANIMAL SHELTERS, IF THE KIDS ARE UNDER AGE 12. DOGS DO PREVENT ASTHMA IN KIDS, BUT MAYBE ARE ONLY SAFE FOR KIDS, IF ELDERLY.
