Everyone in my neighborhood has a dog and at least a dozen of them are barking at each other at any given time in a non-stop cacophony of shrill uselessness.

Milo is the undisputed leader. The terrier holds court in the downstairs patio and commands a sizable canine army.

It just doesn’t end. They’re even barking right now. It’s like a chain reaction throughout the entire neighborhood: Milo starts, and then the other and then the other. Before long, they’re all barking and yipping and growling and snarling and panting.

I have absolutely no idea how their owners could be so impervious. It’s ridiculous. Sorry dog owners, but when your “family member” lowers the quality of life for your neighbors, it becomes problematic.

Sometimes they fight in the street. Sometimes they bark at 4am and wake everyone up. Sometimes they bite kids, which is exactly what happened a few weeks ago when a toddler in a stroller got bit in the back of the head and get to get stitches.

Authorities couldn’t do anything and the owners refused to put it down. You can Google it.

“We can’t control Milo anyone,” sighed the defeated-looking domestic helper when I went over there to complain. “I’m really sorry.”

So, all of that being said, Guangdong Snatch N’ Grab Co. Ltd—come and get Milo. He’s waiting. And so are the others.

No ifs, no cultural buts.

Suggest that people go for a more muscular dog like a Russian wolfhound, Neapolitan mastiff etc.

Better still they should keep wolverines, a critter which could take out a whole division of PLA troops.
