Perhaps dogs could be important agents towards peace in the world?

Well, it's already a well know fact that animals help people to be healthier (lower blood pressure and lower heart rate) and to heal faster, in addition to just helping them be happier. [Smile]

Just need to point out that there is no such thing as a panacea, including dogs:

No parole for 'Son of Sam' killer

quote:
Albany, June 11, 2004

(AP) "Son of Sam" serial killer David Berkowitz has again been denied parole, this time in a hearing lasting less than 10 minutes, state officials said Friday.
*****

He left a note at the sixth crime scene that read: "I am a monster. I am the Son of Sam." Sam was a neighbor of the killer. Berkowitz said he was taking demonic orders through Sam's dog.

Kudos for finding a good, positive animal story [Hat]

Kind of evens out the negative feelings I had after reading the Govenator's latest proposal.

I particularly like David Berkowitz's eyebrow. It's dang hot.
