  2. The Fugitive

  23. How Many Dogs Are Too Many? By Louise Louis
    I’m a pariah among the dog fanciers in my community. Why? Because I testified in support of a new regulation to limit pet ownership to no more than a total of three dogs and/or cats, older than six-months of age, in one household.The reason for the age threshold is to give people time to place any puppies or kittens that their family pet has.Every major dog/pet organization I’m familiar with opposes such regulations or laws.
