We have the right to be full members of your family. We thrive on social interaction,
praise, and love.
|
|
We have the right to stimulation. We need new games, new toys, new experiences,
and new smells to be happy.
|
|
We have the right to regular exercise. Without it, we could become hyper, sluggish....
or fat.
|
|
We have the right to have fun. We enjoy acting like clowns now and then; don't expect
us to be predictable all the time.
|
|
We have the right to quality health care. Please stay good friends with our vet!
|
|
We have the right to a good diet. Like some people, we don't know what's best
for us. We depend on you.
|
|
We have the right not to be rejected because of your expectations that we be great
show dogs or show cats, watchdogs, hunters, or babysitters.
|
|
We have the right to receive proper training. Otherwise, our good relationships could
be marred by confusion and strife - and we could become dangerous to ourselves and
others.
|
|
We have the right to guidance and correction based on understanding and compassion,
rather than abuse.
|
|
We have the right to live with dignity....and to die with dignity when the time
comes.
