About a quarter of dogs in the US are adopted. Their alternative to apartment life is often death. Large, high-energy dogs definitely need space. Smaller and lower-energy dogs can do well with at home stimulation and consistent exercise. I

My doctor buddy told of a room in the hospital called the Cabbage Patch, full of braindead people who absolutely will die but can’t be let to die yet. Who is that room full of? Consider that the fatality rate is roughly 30 times higher per
