DEAR DR. FOX: We have lived in a 19-story condo in Florida for over 20 years, and our bylaws state that no pets are allowed. When we first moved here, one resident had a dog; now I think we are up to 20 dogs in the building, and one is a Doberman. Apparently all you must do is get a letter from a doctor saying you need a “comfort” animal.

When we moved in, we found homes for our two beloved cats because we did not think it fair to confine them to a high-rise condo. But a cat at least uses a litter box, and doesn’t need to go outside like a dog does.
