What do you like about this subject?

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to continue learning about cutting edge canine health issues, behavorial issues, and to rescue more dogs from early deaths due to poor nutrition and poor medical practice.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Something controversial or provocative about this subject
