Our dog was begging for someone’s pizza on an outdoor patio of a restaurant one time so my fiancé jerked on the leash to send a message. Well ole bo, being the beagle/basset that he is, let out quite a “booooooooooo!” And let me tell you, everyone on that patio immediately became extremely concerned with our dogs well being and pretty much carried on like we should be locked up for animal cruelty. So in the eyes of the public, discipline is cruel. I wish bo would have eaten their whole pizza and puked it onto their shoes. In today’s America: dogs>people and discipline is evil and that’s the way it’s going to stay
