Is there anything better than the slightly chaotic thrill of promenading with your best buddy in a crowd of keyed-up canines, talking and laughing (sniffing and barking) with friends and strangers drawn together by a common love of companion animals? For many of us, this is one of the great rites of summer. Once or twice a month all season long, mixed-species crowds gather to stretch their legs and show support for the shelters and humane organizations that work for the welfare of animals.

Since Monday, the Seattle Animal Shelter has been promoting
Be Kind to Animals Week. I love the sentiment and admire the work of the
Seattle Animal Shelter. I have a major soft spot for them, since that's where I found my dog Lulu. In the spirit of the thing, the Shelter suggests excellent actions such as encouraging family and friends to spay or neuter their pets, creating spaces for wildlife, reporting animal abuse or neglect, volunteering at your local animal shelter and speaking out on the importance of respecting animals.
