More fearsome than the IRS; more dastardly than Snidely Whiplash; in the top one tenth of every dog's top ten list of villains is the unscrupulous dog catcher.  Does such a person in such a position have any redeeming social value?  Not to us dogs!  When it comes time to pay your taxes, take out 2 cents in protest against the government's folly in paying for this job title.  Mention this poorly spent tax money at your next tea and crumpets event, or your rowdy tax protesting wine tasting party.  If your neighbor takes the job, shun him.  Power and authority are dangerous when given to these individuals, so keep a close eye on these characters.  I'd be suspicious of anyone who'd even apply for the job?  Trying to lock up Lassie and Marley.  You should be ashamed!
