I LOVE dogs, which is why my chief concern is the dog's well-being. The dog doesn't know he's at a football game to honor his master. He doesn't need to be there. Not because I don't him to honor his master if he could (because he did that at the funeral), but because I can not see a grieving dog in that situation reacting well. If I'm awful because I'm trying to protect this dog from being used in this manner, then I'm happy to be awful.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795099932521945346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530940952115212414.post-27568089009800343502011-08-29T14:23:31.219-07:002011-08-29T14:23:31.219-07:00I feel that the opinions expressed in your article...I feel that the opinions expressed in your article were awful. Dog's are wonderful creatures. I think it's wonderful to allow the dog to be part of the opening football game. Why not have the dog lead and have the children and families of the other soldiers follow. What you are forgetting is that although Hawkeye may walk on 4 legs, he was this soldier's family. They clearly had a wonderful bond.Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530940952115212414.post-75961071434955211392011-08-28T22:51:01.540-07:002011-08-28T22:51:01.540-07:00I am very, very much a dog lover, which is why I d...I am very, very much a dog lover, which is why I don't want the dog to be out on a field in front of tens of thousands of screaming people with 80+ large football players running behind him and a marching band playing loud music. I just can not see the dog responding well, especially considering it just lost its master. Dogs do have feelings, and this one is grieving badly. Running out at a football game is not going to cheer him up. <br /><br />I actually should have also said in the article that, while I'd like the kids to be involved, obviously there's a reasonable limit to that, too. No need to further traumatize anyone.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, though, and thanks for reading!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795099932521945346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530940952115212414.post-43236201916728102662011-08-28T19:52:53.670-07:002011-08-28T19:52:53.670-07:00What's wrong with the dog leading also.....so ...What's wrong with the dog leading also.....so he's not a person but doesn't he still have feelings also?????? You must not be an animal lover.And maybe the family of the soldier would appreciate that being the dog was soooooooo devoted to the soldier!!!
