Picture this. I was waiting to cross Danforth near Chester - the light is very slow. A couple in their 20s - "yuppy" in appearance were beside me as were a few other people. The man saw a small poodle across the street and stated quite loudly "Now there is a dog that should be put in a microwave". And his companion agreed. The other bystanders looked stricken and afraid to say anything. I, however, was not. When I am seriously angry I respond quietly but to the point - plus I have eyes like a hound dog - I get my meaning across. He jumped back a bit. I do not care for microwaves and do not have one. My main reason for not having one is that until last year I had mini Dachshunds and I know I do not need to repeat the horror stories of small dogs and microwaves. Perhaps this guy was one of the perpetrators.
