. We have the right to be full members of your family.  We thrive on social interaction, praise, and love.
 

.  We have the right to stimulation.  We need new games, new toys, new experiences, and new smells to be happy.
 

.  We have the right to regular exercise.  Without it, we could become hyper, sluggish....or fat.
 

.  We have the right to have fun.  We enjoy acting like clowns now and then; don't expect us to be predictable all the time.
 

.  We have the right to quality health care.  Please stay good friends with our vet!
 

.  We have the right to a good diet.  Like some people, we don't know what's best for us.  We depend on you.
 

.  We have the right not to be rejected because of your expectations that we be great show dogs or show cats, watchdogs, hunters, or baby-sitters.
 

.  We have the right to receive proper training.  otherwise, our good relationship could be marred by confusion and strife -- and we could become dangerous to ourselves and others.
 

.  we have the right to guidance and correction based on understanding and compassion, rather than abuse.
 

.  We have the right to live with dignity...and to die with dignity when the time comes.
