Pet concern

To the editor:

I am 9 years old. I would like to say that I am writing on behalf of the dog owned by the family who lives behind Pinckney School.

My mom and I were riding bikes the other day and saw this dog locked up in a very small cage with barely any room to turn around, let alone walk.

He was barking and wagging his tail looking for someone to play with him, but the owners would not let him out. I think that dogs and cats and all other pets should not be cooped up in cages the size of refrigerators! Pets have the same rights as human beings. They are no less important than us.
