With all due respect to the views of many who have responded, there is something seriously amiss with a person who would don a hot Santa Claus outfit in the summertime in up to 100 degrees heat and walk a distance of 20 feet back and forth for hours trying to get money from motorists.One thousand people can sling arrows at me for being concerned about this issue, and over 500,000 people can drive by and see the phenomenon and do nothing. One day something dire will happen because no one stood up and did something to change the status quo. People driving by and hearing about this apparently think it's cute to see Santa Claus with his dog panhandling in the middle of a huge intersection. I speak for those who are silent, like the dog. I also routinely speak up for others who haven't found or don't have a voice. I do not care that others don't agree with my opinion of the matter because sensitivity to others apparently isn't a shared value. In response to one chat room member, I have heard that dog cry out for help; but some who post on this chat might not understand how that is possible if the dog is silent. When one is sensitive to the world, far more frequencies are open for learning. That is partly why many seek the advice of psychics, as many of them are more tuned in than the rest of us.

I was looking for positive ways to handle the concerns by submitting a post on this board. Thank you # 1 Stunner, DieselDawg, and BlazonJon for your thoughtful responses. Some others, however, have lambasted or mocked me for caring about the dog. How surprising that is to me because of all pet owners I would have expected those who love pit bulls and who post on this board to be far less judgmental than the general population.
