Almost everyone in my neighborhood had a dog or two. There is one family that has three or I should say HAD three. One dog was extremely well trained and well behaved - a true joy and a real beauty. The other two are nice dogs but yappy and untrained. I just found out they got rid of the good dog. He was a harlequin great dane. The reason? "He got too big." Imagine that! A GREAT DANE GOT TOO BIG! I guess they thought it would be a lap dog. :dur:
