Please say you left out the /s on your post. These dogs are not volunteers, as are ANY dogs for what they do. They just end up in situations humans selected them for, whether lap dogs or service dogs. If you'd slap a dog for being put into involuntary work he simply could not do, then your screen name more likely has a double meaning.
Of course it’s a Patton reference. Duh :-)
My first thought was:
There’ll be no more “battle fatigue” in this kennel!
And I can see Patton being ordered to apologize to the dog too.
It would make quite a parody.
