- 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.
