"Old Bud".
In the Ole Times so many years ago,we bought a Black Lab Puppy in Lawton Oklahoma on a Visit to my Mother . He picked me out as his buddy and Master.
On arriving at our "Rancho Sonrisa" on the beach at Loreto we proceeded to load "Bud" onto the "Patricia" and go Fishing.
A week or so later "Bud" became sick, bleeding from the Nose etc.We hopped in our little Red Toyota and headed North to the Border,found the first Vet
in Chula Vista who said"Porvo". Bud was near Death. 48 Hours later he raiseed up and greeted us fron his Cage --Saved!
7 Days, and $700 Dollars we returned to Loreto with Bud.
We had had a very bad experience with the Vet "Juan" in Loreto so started taking Bud to La Paz
Never had any trouble and only was asked for Papers one time by the Customs at Otay.
Ole Bud died in my Arms at 14 years surviving Porvo and countless trips from Loreto to the States
Take your Dog, control his Actions, love and care for them as you do your Children No truer words than "A Dog is man's/woman's Best Friend".
Father to ole "Bud"

This Post for OSO.
Oso I get the feeling that you are somewhat Negative toward Authority or Police Officers. I do not mean this to be offensive, just an observation.
That being said, here in Amarillo Texas there has been a Big Problem with "Druggies using Pit Bulls" as Protection aganist being Arrested or having
their Meth Labs Raided.
Several Officers have been bitten, people and Children have been attacked etc.
In Baja I have never had an any type of problem with owning or transporting Dogs.
There was a "Dog Problem" in Loreto Several years ago where over 250 Dogs were posined in one Night. People were warned several days before the Action
was taken to kill the Strays which had been developing into "Packs" and had attacked some Children on the Beach.
Oso,for those Officers of the Law who have been in Danger of being attacked by Dogs or Humans, it is a Split decision to Kill that Danger or Stop
the Threat. When I was trained in the late 50's I was taught to only pull that weapon, and doing so Kill that Threat. Nowdays the Training is to
attempt to "Stop That Threat".
And , yes there are some"Smart Alec's" who will get into your face if you have and dispaly a Bad Attitude.
People are People--Even Cops

Skeet,
Wrong. In fact, I used to be an associate member of FOP when I worked for the City of Charlotte, NC. My work took me into many of the rougher parts
of town and I truly appreciated the presence of LE personnel. My schedule also coincided with the afternoon shift change and I enjoyed many hours
(and pitchers) of relaxed conversation at the lodge.
I only have a problem with certain people, thankfully a small percentage, in positions of authority to which they do not measure up. This is not only
in law enforcement, it is found in every sector of society that gives one individual authority over another. True professionals know how to impose
authority in a manner that gains respect. The Lt. Dangles of the world do not. The terms "Napoleon Complex", "Martinet" and "Bully" apply to those
who find compensation in a badge, a uniform, a desk etc. for some inner inadequacy. Without that crutch, they are nothing and they know it, so they
go to unneccesary lengths to prop themselves up with their artificial personae.
I don't have a problem with officers warning dog owners that failure to restrain their dogs could result in the dog's death. This could be printed on
a sign in secondary or part of a standardized spiel. It's a legitimate caution and I would fully expect anyone, cop or not, to defend themselves if
attacked.
No, my post mentioned my problem with one swaggering ( . ) and my point was to be prepared (with vet papers etc.) because even if you are almost
always waved through, if you cross the border enough times, sooner or later, no matter how "straight" you look, you're going to end up in secondary
and/or you're going to have to deal with some pompous ass.
