Reading in the Globe and Mail that three of the 10 hot careers for 2007 are related to animals. These are "animal assisted therapists" for dealing with bad behaviours, "animal defence lawyers" for custody cases, veterinary malpractice, etc., and "veterinary physical therapists" who specialize in hydrotherapy, exercise, and massage.
I already know two people who have employed therapists for their dogs. It's a long ways away from the neighbourhood standard when I grew up where the maximum families would spend on a dog was $5.00 and nothing on cats...driven by economics not unkindness.
