O odgovornem lastništvu psa »The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.« Mahatma Gandhi 4 4
Introduction INTRODUCTION O odgovornem lastništvu psa Man and dog have been sharing the same environment for 15000 years. Any particulars of the beginnings of this partnership are inaccessibly shrouded by the veil of ancient history. It seems plausible that from the very beginning the dog had assisted man in his daily occupations as hunting, for instance. And, above all, the dog had always been sharing the man’s company. According to statistical data, almost every fourth Slovenian household owns a dog. This information becomes all the more interesting when considering that in urban settlements there live more inhabitants, and consequently, more dogs. If dog owners cannot cope with their dogs, a variety of inconveniencies may occur. And these may be rather serious, indeed. A dog may seriously injure a person or cause heavy damage, and such undesirable consequences are within the responsibility of the dog owner. <strong>Dog</strong>s may carry diseases which are transmissible from animals to man (zoonoses). Rabies is a most notorious zoonosis. A rabid dog would pose a great threat to human and animal populations and, therefore, the disease is suppressed by the compulsory annual anti-rabies vaccination of dogs so as to avoid the possibility of infection of dogs. Prevention of rabies from spreading is supported by the rules applicable to travelling with pet animals. As the dog may be a person’s best friend on the one hand, it may pose a serious threat to human health and life on the other hand. Thus, it needs to be assured that dog ownership is a pleasant and safe experience for the dog owner, for other persons involved and for the dog itself. 5 The purpose of this brochure is to present the obligations and rights of dog owners that are ensuing from relevant legislation. These obligations and rights shall equally apply to those, who have just purchased a dog, as to experienced dog owners. The brochure has been set up in chapters, clarifying the appropriate care of a dog and proper actions in certain situations. If dog owners, having consulted its contents, are well able to avoid certain inconveniences or do find the care of their dogs much easier, the brochure has achieved its purpose. 5
