## Opinion text

RUTLEDGE, Associate Justice
(concurring).
I concur in Judge VINSON’S opinion, for the reasons stated therein and upon the following additional authority:
“This saga of Popo, malevolent pooch,
And Erck’s Pomeranian pet;
Your etymological-legal approach
To canons of dog etiquette,
Persuade me that canines are property still
Whether licensed, unlicensed or tagged;
Not ferae naturae, or fair game to kill
So long as there’s tail to be wagged.” 28
Miller, Justin, Pooch Poems 1.
