Don't you know what you are writing? So that said you feel that all the dogs that are owned by people with jobs should be put down, or perhaps the owners have to quit their jobs and enter poverty in order to keep their dogs.
Please try to make sense, how could I have a home, family and dogs if I did not have a job? My dogs do just fine being alone all day. You seem to believe that all dogs are dependent on humans for everything and do not know that dogs show the path for many people. Again I am glad that you are so rich that you can be home all day, but the rest of us need to work.
Please note my use of the word "personal". It is indeed my own PERSONAL view that it is unreasonable to leave dogs home alone all day - but that is just my own personal view; I am not and was not casting nasturtiums at the OP, just merely stating my own personal opinion - which is, in my opinion, slightly unrealistic and even possibly unreasonable! BUT ... it is my opinion, and I am entitled to express it.
As for the rest of your post, you are just being plain silly and making assumptions which are totally untrue. I do work - 4 days a week, all day every day - but my husband is retired, and is home all day, hence Ben is very well catered for. Lucky dog - I appreciate that many dogs are not so lucky.
So please don't castigate me for my own personal opinion - I was not casting nasturtiums at the OP.
