mercifully nobody seems to keep dogs on our compound.

mercifully for you and your asian wife who seem to fear/loathe them. Only in China would dogs be treated as chattel to be eaten, the rest of the developed world takes a very different approach....one point, how do you think they stop drugs from coming off those airplanes, not by human scent alone,not even in China, where the nasty pollution would make it unbearable for both dog and human to breathe, I would wager!!!
