LETTERS IN VIEW : Down! Down! Give Dogs a Break

Re “A Status Symbol with Real Bite” (March 26): Please send Rip Rense to the Golden State Rottweiler Club’s Annual Show and Trial in June. There he will see Rottweilers participating in obedience trials, carting and general dog activities. He will find that a large number of the dogs belong to families or to women--without tattoos.

Rottweilers, if treated well, are friendly, loving pets. The same is true of pit bulls and other large breeds.

We would appreciate a little good press for a change. Our dogs certainly deserve it.
