LETTER: Column failed to mention our special bond with dogs

The Editor,

Re: "Sympathy for the dog killer Paulsen," the Now, Feb. 5.

To say that Adrian MacNair's column will likely generate a significant response would be an understatement. The column as a whole was insensitive, callous and ultimately poorly written and researched.

MacNair, either through carelessness or perhaps pure ignorance, does not mention the contributions dogs make to society.

Is he not aware of police dogs, search and rescue dogs or seeing eye dogs? He may look down upon dogs but they look up to us and that special bond has benefitted both of us for centuries.
