We have the right to be full members of your family.
We thrive on social interaction, praise and love.
We have the right to stimulation. We need new games,
new toys, new experiences and new smells to be happy.
We have the right to regular exercise. Without it
we could become sluggish, hyper or fat.
We have the right to have fun. We enjoy acting like
clowns now and then; don't expect us to be predictable at all times.
We have the right to quality health care. Please
stay good friends with our vet.
We have the right to a good diet. Like some people,
we don't know what's good for us. We depend on you and Pets First.
We have the right not to be rejected because of your
expectations that we be great show dogs or show cats, watchdogs, hunters or baby
sitters.
We have the right to receive proper training. Otherwise
our good relationship could be marred by confusion and strife and we could become
dangerous to ourselves and others.
We have the right to guidance and correction based
on understanding and compassion rather than abuse.
We have the right to live with dignity... and to
die with dignity when the time comes.
