Attention: Robert Burnett, Staff Accountant
Re: Big Dog Holdings, Inc.
Item 4.01 Form 8-K filed October 1, 2004
File Number 0-22963
This letter responds to your letter dated October 5, 2004 requesting
additional information and disclosures. Please find below our responses that
keys to your comments and provides additional supplemental information, if
applicable:
1. You state that you replaced Deloitte & Touche; however, we do not
believe that this terminology meets the requirements of Item 304 of
Regulation S-K. Please revise to state if you dismissed Deloitte or if
they resigned or declined to stand for re-election. See Item
304(a)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K.
Response
--------
We will amend the language as follows:
Big Dog Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed Deloitte & Touche, LLP
("Deloitte") as the independent auditor of the Company, effective September 29,
2004.
2. In the second, third and fourth paragraphs you make statements with
regard to disagreements, reportable events and consultations that cover
a time period "through the date of this disclosure." Since the Form 8-K
is dated September 28, 2004, and the event took place effective
September 29, 2004, this disclosure does not appear sufficient. Please
revise all three paragraphs to clearly cover the entire period
preceding the resignation, declination or dismissal.
Response
--------
We will amend the date of our report (the earliest event reported) to September
29, 2004.
3. You include disclosure that the information in the Form 8-K and
Exhibit shall not be deemed filed for purposes of section 18 of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. It is not clear that this
language is appropriate, please revise to delete that disclosure or
advise why it is appropriate.
Response
--------
We will delete the disclosure language in our amended Form 8-K.
Lastly, per your request, the Company acknowledges the following:
o the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filings;
o staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments
in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the Commission
from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
o the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceedings initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
The Company is hopeful that the foregoing responds adequately to your comments.
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please call me at
(805) 963-8727, extension 1264.
Sincerely,
/s/ Roberta Morris
