I. M. Bassett, the Review's editor,
deems the following response to the April issue worthy of a special edition:
Dear Editor: I think the paper
is finally getting down to basics and that we should not think that a world
wherein dogs are calling the shots is ridiculous. I guess the dogs
were doing all right in pre-history, and that we should give them a chance
to clear up this mess the world is in now. For example, the increasing
demand for care-givers for the elderly people in our society
can result in raunchy nursing homes, flighty cigarette smoking live-in
companions, or we can turn it over to the most intelligent compassionate
steady brave breed of dog, the Queensland Heeler. One Heeler
per oldster would provide excellent care. And don't train the Heeler.
Train the oldster. Here is an example (and I bet that gator is
crawling around half dead dead from its wounds.)
