No time, no commitment, so no pet

Several days ago, I read about a 7-year-old girl who was attacked by three dogs in a parking lot in the city and left seriously injured.

It's not clear why the dogs became so violent. But the incident reminded me of my childhood when I had to dodge monstrous barking dogs in my apartment building. Every time, no matter how quietly I tiptoed up the stairs, they would hear and bark like crazy.

I guess they were hoping I would set them free after they had been locked up all day in the house.
