lol; pepperoni...ha
haha...NO! :)My neighbor's dog was Pepper and the most annoying dog ever until I started "training" him.
The neighbor left their dog out in the yard in a 10 x 15 pen year round and threw food at him. No attention at all.
I started petting him, talking to him, giving him treats so that when Pepper barked all I had to do was open a window and say, "No bark, Pepper." He would stop.
One day when I let my Katie out (the older dane) I didn't hear Pepper and went to the fence, called him, no response. Got the ladder, looked over and Pepper was lying there dead.
I noticed he had no water and the neighbors were gone! They had let Pepper go w/o water in the summer for 2 days and didn't ask anyone to water him. I turned them in to the Humane Society and all that happened was a small fine. >:(Pepper would bring too many bad memories.)
Besides, Pepperoni gives me heartburn...
