The perils of pet ownership: it's your property.

Traveling dog owners would do well to read this article on the ABC news site.

There are moral as well as legal obligations involved.

"Many people may be surprised to discover that a dog attack is actually classed as a property dispute, as dogs are considered personal property under the law as distinct from "natural persons" (humans) and corporations."

Our dogs are our family now, and their behaviour is our responsibility, just like our children's behaviour was. No excuses, no cop-outs. If they do something wrong, it is our fault, and we must wear that. Which is why we train them to behave in a socially acceptable manner. Just like we did our children.
