In support of mutts and ugly dogs
Today, I write in support of ugly dogs. The less than perfect ones. The unbathed and ungroomed. The mixed breeds. The mutts. The runts of the litter. And especially the ones without pedigrees or papers - the kind that you’ll never, ever see in the Westminster Dog Show. Those are … [Read more...]
