Dear Ann Landers, Who needs proof? A letter about Kelly, a dog who wouldn't eat meat on Friday, unloosed a torrent of testimonials which strongly suggest that our furred and feathered friends are at least as smart as people-if not smarter. Here are some samples from my mail: From Highland Park: If you think Kelly's dog is unusual, what would you say about our English setter, Leviticus? We got Lev when he was four months old-a gift from friends who are deeply religious. These friends adhere to the dietary laws of their faith. Leviticus not only refuses to eat meat which is not kosher but the meat must be served to him on a Yiddish newspaper. We have tried the Chicago Sun-Times and 213 the Daily News, but Lev cannot be fooled.-Right Hand Up
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , Olga, lights one cigarette off the other. I’ve seen her forget she has one going in the ashtray and then light another one. My husband and I do not smoke. We find Olga’s continual smoking a nuisance. Last night, we were playing cards, and Olga was, as usual, smoking up a storm. I said, “Please blow it over there. I don’t want your lung cancer.’1 She replied, “Secondhand smoke is harmless. You’re getting crotchety.” I say a person does not need to inhale smoke to be harmed by it, and that being around smoke can be damaging. What do you say, Ann? -Choking in Sioux Falls
