Final Call I For Campers Everyone is welcome to go to 4-H camp, says Dave Plocher, McHenry county Extension adviser. The dates are June 28- July 2. The age group is^ to 13. Shaw-waw-nas-see 4-H camp is located 10 miles northwest of HELPING tggr m l Bv Estelie Atwell Have you ever been rejected? Have you ever put forth your best efforts only to meet with indifference or no response? It hurts, doesn't it? Dogs can't talk, but they can get their message across in their own way. And when a dog tries hard to express love and joy at its owner's appearance with all the spontaneity that a dog can offer, and the owner ignores the pet, that hurts. And leaves the dog disappointed and bewildered. We were told of a dog that is kept much of the time by its owner in a 4-foot long enclosed run. The owners come and go, and when the dog sees them it goes wild with joy. What does it get in return? The cold shoulder. Rarely does anyone in the household come, out and pet the dog or talk to it. Rarely, if ever, is the dog taken for a walk. It is fed, and that's about it. It paces back and forth in that lonely 4-foot run. We would go so far as to describe this treatment as a form of cruelty. Besides groceries, dogs need - actually need - some attention from their owners. We hope if you are con­ sidering taking a pet you will offer more than just the bare bones of sustenance, and no more, because if you can't, or won't, that is going to be one hapless dog you'll have. It isn't fair to the dog, and as Hie dog can't talk, we are speaking for it.
