That is an important observation, Mackinze Klima. Lost in the hullabaloo of this shift is the fact that Purina is a big supporter of rescue dogs -- it's just that in their case, it's not the primary focus, but part of the entire package. From some of the coverage we've seen, you'd think Purina hates rescue dogs!

Don: appreciate your comment, and definitely agree that some dogs (and certain breeds) possess almost supernatural problem-solving abilities when it comes to getting off-property. That said, have to respectfully disagree with you on this. Because there's a big difference here. You put out the time and effort (and money, presumably) to fortify your fence and didn't stop until you solved the mystery. That is the responsible thing to do, and something we have a great deal of respect for -- because it isn't always easy. Luna's owner, on the other hand, just said his dog would "go berserk" and used that as an excuse not to solve the problem. Nobody is perfect. Even the most responsible dog owner makes mistakes. And we do not believe in punishing or castigating people who are trying to improve as owners and do the right thing. However, in this case, it really looks as if the owner was making excuses in order to take the easy way out. If more information becomes available, and we learn that this is not the case, we'll definitely change our position on that, of course.

A Facebook User: Glad they finally came to their senses with your dog. The idea that a dog chasing a cat makes it classifiable as "dangerous" would be laughable, if not for the harm and heartbreak it can cause dogs and their owners. Deni: Dogs, llamas, and chickens? Your place sounds like a lot of fun. Can we visit? Rosebud: Not all the details are in. He may have been fined, he may have simply received warnings. We'll learn more as the day goes on and keep you posted.
