- We have the right
to be full members of your family. We thrive on social interaction,
praise, and love.
- We have the right
to stimulation. We need new games, new toys, new experiences,
and new smells to be happy.
- We have the right
to regular exercise. Without it, we could become hyper, sluggish...or
fat.
- We have the right
to have fun. We enjoy acting like clowns now and then; don't
expect us to be predictable all the time.
- We have the right
to quality health care. Please stay good friends with our vet!
- We have the right
to a good diet. Like some people, we don't know what's best
for us. We depend on you.
- We have the right
not to be rejected because of your expectations that we be great
show dogs or show cats, watchdogs, hunters, or baby-sitters.
- We have the right
to receive proper training. Otherwise, our good relationship
could be marred by confusion and strife - and we could become
dangerous to ourselves and others.
- We have the right
to guidance and correction based on understanding and compassion,
rather than abuse.
- We have the right
to live with dignity...and to die with dignity when the time
comes.
