Dogs need not apply
As the president of Lyon Park Citizens Association, I was intrigued with the Hillbrook-Tall Oaks Civic Association’s electing a dog as an officer [“Civic group’s new president has some howling,” front page, Feb. 19]. Our association has been looking for a secretary for months. However, for that job we will need an animal with opposable thumbs.
