What are the problems that "attitudes" allegedly cause within the dog 
community? I fail to see what the cleanliness of my dogs has to do with 
the dog community as a whole. What harm is done?
Dogs that are raised as pets are not wild animals. Therefore, they don't 
live as if in the wild. They live with humans, who provide them with 
care and affection. Do domestic dogs have to hunt for food, or fend for 
themselves against predators? Pet dogs know nothing else but the care of 
their owners. If the owner wishes to wash their dogs as a part of this 
care, then so be it.
