People I'd like to sic a dog on.

Here's the kind of person I don't like at all. He or she is the owner of a dog or cat who goes missing. They are heartbroken so they post "missing" animals signs all over the neighborhood. Animal lovers like me on seeing them are distressed. The poor pet. Where can it be? Cold and hungry? Or in a shelter without any identification? Or, worse, in a hospital lab? We worry and we're watchful, hoping we'll find this poor creature and return it to the safety of its home. And while we worry over this animal, it has been found by some diligent neighbor or has returned on its own But does the pet owner remove the signs? No. That would be too much effort. So for several weeks, until the weather destroys the signs pet lovers worry needlessly over an animal that is no longer missing. Such owners are inconsiderate jerks.
