1. There is so much awesome in this picture.

[cui bono]

15. Oh, nm... it was juvenile humor. And that's subjective.

[roguevalley]

21. that is why dogs are the greatest ever. I remember a dog lying down when his owner was in a drug

bust. dogs are the thousandth man:

One man in a thousand Solomon says will stand more close than a brother. But the thousandth man/dog will stand by your side to the gallows foot and after. -Kipling.

2. Each of these separate protests are part of a much bigger movement.

Soon they will coalesce into one single movement. I think Sen Sanders may be the leader to bring it all together. He a man of the people.

[roguevalley]

22. agreed, Rhett

3. Woof

[okaawhatever]

4. LOL. Too cute nt

[brer cat]

5. And he thought he was the only one

who knew this trick. Good dogie!

[valerief]

6. That dog needs to be neutered. Otherwise, quite cute. nt

[peacebird]

7. Doesn't *need* to be neutered if his owner keeps him under control. Our lab is 5 yrs old

And not neutered. He is fine. He goes out to play on our five acres with us, and never roams free. He is fine, healthy and happy. No need to cut off his private bits.

[valerief]

8. *Needs* to be neutered. It's the only kind thing for the dog. Goodbye. nt

13. darn good idea for a domesticated animal.

[barbtries]

17. agree.

[peacebird]

18. Surgery is 'kind' to the dog?

[Duppers]

20. YES!!

Google the reasons.

[roguevalley]

24. testicular and prostrate cancers.

[roguevalley]

23. there are health benefits for neutering beside birth control. we stopped testicular cancer and

prostrate cancer in two of our boys doing that. That dog is awesome.

[pnwmom]

28. That's what some of our neighbors thought, too, when we were waiting

to spay our female. The vet wanted her to go through heat once before he spayed her (that was the custom then). So when the time came we had male dogs flocking to our yard from miles around.

At least one of them supposedly was always confined in his fenced-in back yard. Except several times a day he was over at our house, jumping on any human who went in or out the front door.

Our dog didn't get pregnant but it was no thanks to the owners of the male dogs who ignored the town's leash laws.

29. Our dog is only outside when I am out. We have five acres in the country, he is under voice control

And has never left our property.... There are a lot of careless dog owners around here who let their dogs run wild. A pack of them slaughtered most of my chicken flock a year ago. We would never let our dog go on someone elses property.

16. Agree... spay/neuter! (n/t)

[catbyte]

10. Great pic

[lame54]

11. Hey, you're not supposed to show your junk on DU

[AtheistCrusader]

12. I would not do that.

This day and age the cops are likely to arrest him, and let the dog go, or shoot it.

[GeorgeGist]

14. Doggies are awesome.

[tblue37]

19. I want to rub that puppy belly and say,

"Who's a good politically committed boy? You're a good politically committed boy! Yes, you are!"

[roguevalley]

25. bwahaha. Me too, tblue37 :D

[Aerows]

27. I know

the urge is almost irresistible! "You love your owner, whose a good boy, whose a good boy?"

[mountain grammy]

26. Good Dog!
