BAD DOG!

The Watchdog is not an attack dog, regardless of what anyone may say. Instead of a snarling Rottweiler on the newspaper's masthead, we show a yapping little terrier. An ankle biter. Annoying? Yes. Loud? Sort of. Soft and cuddly? Yes, at times. Basically, a gentle, friendly little critter who will bark ferociously to warn people of threats. The threats that Toledo is facing come from a lack of diverse opinion--such as the ability to stand up and question the elected officials. The right to have SERIOUS questions answered by those officials. Yes, it might be embarassing to some. But the purpose is not to embarass. The purpose is to uncover the facts. Many people in this community are concerned about just these issues. The Watchdog speaks for them. The Watchdog does not speak for all as we are probably the first to admit. There are those who don't like dogs of any kind--snarling , yappy or otherwise. They want them to "GO AWAY." But we will continue to yap and bark and raise a warning until the questions are answered. Then we will go back to our warm little blanket and be happy and content.
