“When people visit my farm they often envision their dog, finally off-leash in acres of safely fenced countryside, running like Lassie in a television show, leaping over fallen tree trunks, shiny-eyed with joy at the change to run free in the country.

Dog aren't people, and if they have their own image of heaven, it most likely involves poop.”
