NBC6 of South Florida reports of a condominium association in West Palm Beach threatening to take a 79 year old lady's dog away from her.

The lady is suffering from bone cancer and breast cancer, and her little chihuahua named "Baby" is her only companion. The condo association has a rule against pet ownership, and it doesn't want to make an exception.

Americans can't even have a dog in their own home!

In a way, this dog is kinda like medical marijuana; it doesn't have any medical benefit, but it makes you forget about your problems.

So, do we make exceptions for certain people, and bend the rules?

My answer is that this is an excessive rule. The rule, rather, should be that each owner must control their pets so as not to bother other residents. If your dog barks too much, you have to put a stop to it, or else face fines.

It appears this condo association went about it backasswards.

I hope the residents of the association changes the rules, and kicks out the board members. Let the lady keep her dog.
