Dog Can't Handle the Truth!

Boston Sunday Globe featured an interesting read about the popular increase in Dog Custody Battles. People are starting to view animals more then just personal property, and the field of animal law is growing . With news stories such as Michael Vickhead, and Billionaire Leona Helmsley leaving her pooch 12 million dollars, it looks like things are going to improve for animal rights.

Adrian Hochstadt of the American Veterinary Medical Association says "You have this strange phenomenon where we're placing pets above certain people"[source] And he's right, I totally enjoy my mutt Rocco more then most people. He's chill and thinks that everything I say is absolutely brilliant!

On a different dog note..

Did anyone see The Year of the Dog? Mike White directed this indie flick staring Molly Shannon and Peter Sarsgaard about a lonely secretary who becomes obsessed with animal rights when her dog dies. It was supposed to be a sweet story, but frankly, it turned into a weird ass movie.
