Well the truth is that he docs pick up dogs but that is for their own Good so they Don t get killed while running Down the Road by a fast car that can t Stop in time. Some kids Don t understand this. Please explain this in your column. Jeremy in new Jersey dear Jeremy i have explained it several times but there Are some things one cannot explain enough. In August of 1984, the following letter appeared in my  Abby i am your animal control officer. I am not the dreaded do Catcher or murderer you Call me. It is not 1 who allows your pet to roam the streets to contract diseases from the free roaming animals to be hit by passing motorists or poisoned by rolling Gar Bage. I am the one who must look Inlo those  pain dear Abby glazed eyes try to remove the animal without causing it further pain and then humanely put it so sleep to put an end to its suffering. It is not i who allows your pets to Breed then dumps the unwanted puppies and Kittens on roadsides and in shelters. I m the one who must find the tiny animals before they die of starvation exposure or disease Andas an act of mercy exterminate them. It hurts me to be forced to kill hundreds of thousands of animals each year but because of your irresponsibility i have no Choice. It is not i who Abandons unwanted animals on farm roads telling myself some Friendly Farmer will surely take them in and give them a Good Home.
