There is a deadly disease stalking your dog, a
hideous, stealthy thing just waiting its chance to steal your beloved friend.
It is not a new disease, or one for which there are inoculations. The disease
is called "Trust".
You knew before you ever took your puppy home that it
could not be trusted. The breeder who provided you with this precious animal
warned you, drummed it into your head. Puppies steal off counters, destroy
anything expensive, chase cats, take forever to house train, and must never be allowed
off lead!
When the big day finally arrived, heeding the sage
advice of the breeder, you escorted your puppy to his new home, properly
collared and tagged, the lead held tightly in your hand.
