Bob Barker is an outspoken member of the animal rights
movement, and is known for ending each episode of The Price
is Right by saying: 
"Help
control the pet population, have your pet spayed or neutered."
CBS now goes out of its way to offer prizes that do not violate
Barker's animal rights views. Barker has also established the
DJ&T
Foundation, the purpose of which is to help control the dog
and cat population. He is funding the foundation through his own
resources to support low-cost or free spay/neuter clinics

Alfred Gingold
Dog World and the Humans Who Live There -A hilarious excursion through the studied, obsessive,
colorful, demanding, occasionally lunatic world of contemporary
dog ownership. In the fall of 2001, Alfred Gingold found himself
succumbing to the undeniably endearing behavior of his family's
new Norfolk Terrier, George, and becoming a member of what he
calls Dog Nation: the 43 million dog owners and their 55 million
dogs living in America today. In a matter of weeks, Gingold had
become a firsthand ethnographer of the passions (read: idiosyncrasies)
that define dog owners everywhere. It was literally a case of
puppy love.
Wendy
Christensen - Outwitting
Cats
Skeptics claim it's impossible to
understand - much less train -- cats. Happily, Wendy
Christensen knows they're wrong. Cats are smart, independent,
and often stubborn. But they're also extremely 
self-interested:
always alert for a good deal. In this book, you'll learn the secrets
of offering your cat that irresistible "good deal" he
craves. Outwitting a cat means persuading him that what you
want is also what he wants. And it's not as hard
as you think!
