I had a Shiatsu dog for 12 years - we were different in size but he was certainly man's best friend, he was my little guy.
I liked his ability to deal with a lot of the negativity that surrounded him. Even though he was in a world that he didn't want to be in, he still saw the bigger picture.
In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.
