To start the owner is a 65 year old short stubby man with many medical issues including a gimpy leg and bad back. I feel morally obligated to help this poor dog. My neighbor that lives in the apartment below me got a great pyrenees-golden doodle mix about two years ago. What do I do!?

But I want to be able to argue about it intelligently, citing science, not just morals. I've finally decided to take the plunge and really learn about animal experimentation.
