How many dogs do exist in the USA? How many pit bulls do exist in the USA? What's the percentage of pit bulls to all dogs in the USA?

I like the ornate twin-doggie symbol underneath of the photo.

Seriously, who was the photographer? Can I book him/her for my passport renewal photo? I look like a freakin' Geisha girl in mine. Pasty white with two beady eyes.

That dog's passport picture looks a hell of a lot better than mine.

Freaking insane- there goes any notion I had of ever supporting any animal shelter. How about these nitwits deal with the problem where it is instead of making it our problem?

it's adorable that the dog's name means "big head"

Did you notice how the passport has a spot for "microchip number"? How X-Files.

This is insanity. Spending $1000 per dog? The IFAW obviously have lost all sense of perspective. How many dogs in US shelters could have been saved for $30,000? Pet quality purebreds go for less than $1000 apiece.

"for instance, a dog bigger taller than 6 inches is contraband." I'm not sure what this means.

It seems to me that America has more stray dogs and cats than we can adopt out too. Why must PETA suddenly ship them to us from China? I'm all for saving strays, but this seems - literally and figuratively - going too far.

I'll bet you they learn English far quicker than most immigrants!
