For most ...The Iraqis should give dogs a chance. <br /><br />For most of my first 50 years, I hated dogs, avoided them. Distrusted them. They routinely bit me during my four year stint as a delivery boy for the Napa Register. <br /><br />But in my 60th year, I suddenly fell in love with dogs. I'm a cat owner, and I prefer cats in the house (they're clean and manageable, and don't need to be taken outdoors constantly), but dogs I now find perfectly delightful. The annual dog show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco is coming up this weekend, and I'll be there. <br /><br />Dogs were used at Abu Graib to terrorize the terrorists. Then there were those brown dunce hoods they put on them while they were electrifying them. Bad business all around.<br /><br />But I like dogs now. Such enthusiasm!Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-91499429647922333182010-01-25T12:55:30.374-08:002010-01-25T12:55:30.374-08:00Funny, I usually listen to NPR pretty regularly, b...Funny, I usually listen to NPR pretty regularly, but I missed this there, got it on Facebook from Randi. <br /><br />I hadn't thought about the Iraqi (let's be honest: Arab) cultural prejudice against dogs.

The Iraqi cultural prejudice against dogs has a lot to do with it, too. There are some prejudices that can be fatal.D.B. Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797128570217627410noreply@blogger.com
