Give your dog or cat respect patience understanding and love. And if you just change to one vegetarian day a week that's a wonderful step that will save animal lives. It means you have chosen something kind instead of something cruel.
I don't have the luxury of having a dog myself because I travel too much but...
I've done an awful lot of stuff that's a monument to public patience.
The truth is I had lots of rehab and now I have a clean bill of health.
