Dogs shouldn't be licking children's faces

share thisTo the editor: I was appalled at the picture of the dog and the little girl on the front page of The News-Item on June 24. The dog has his tongue in the girl's mouth and is also slobbering on her face and mouth.
I have owned hunting dogs and have been around many more dogs. They are filthy animals and have no place with children except under strict supervision.
I have seen, while out hunting, dogs eating the human excrement of their owners, and of any others they run across. They also eat and roll in horse manure and never pass up a chance to sniff and lick another dog's anus.
So why is swapping spit and slobber with a dog a mission for your newspaper to champion? This is a filthy habit. The children deserve better.
Whatever happened to common sense?
