Thanks to columnist Jon Huer for his excellent piece of observation that we feed our dogs better than our children [“Of dogs and men,” Recorder, May 18]. I know my eyes cross with frustration when I see or hear dog food ads and realize less care is given to children. Now I suspect Mr. Huer will be demonized by dog lovers with no one advocating for children. Such is our uncivil society.
