Subject: Boiling mad over dog rescuer

Dear People Magazine,

I'm outraged over the man who prevents dangerous dogs from being destroyed. Does he get some kind of an ego-trip from this? Does it make him feel like God to spare the life of these dogs? How else to explain such irrational behavior? I'm infuriated that these horrible dogs are allowed to live. It's like pardoning murderers.

Cathy -- my dogs haven't killed anyone, and they're dogs, not people. That means they don't know right from wrong. They act on instinct. Usually they get into trouble because they've been abused or grossly mishandled. Sometimes dogs also misunderstand a particular situation and react inappropriately, and since they have few tools apart from their teeth, it often means a bite; if they were people, they might do something less destructive, like sending an abusive email to a complete stranger who doesn't care what they think of him because he recognizes their intellectual limitations.
