A dog is not a trendy possession you can just discard when you get bored with the pee on the carpet and the guilty looks he gives you when the garbage is overturned. A dog is a true, faithful, friend who will see you through the years despite your best attempts at replacing him with the opposite sex of our own species.
Real man have dogs.
I used to get up every morning to see my garbage cans emptied out by dogs, raccoons, and just about every varmint in the area. I now have a cat. The neighbor's dog doesn't leave the garage any more. There is no life around my place any more. We put the garbage out the night before now and nothing comes near.
