Item 4.01 Form 8-K filed October 1, 2004 File No. 0-22963 Dear Ms. Morris: We have reviewed the above referenced filing and have the following comments. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments. Feel free to contact us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. 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. 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. 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 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. Big Dog Holdings, Inc. October 5, 2004 Page 2 We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be certain that they have provided all information investors require. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made. In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that * the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings; * 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 * the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to our comments on your filing. Please file your amendment within 5 business days of the date of this letter or advise us when you will file the amendment. The amendment should include an updated letter from your former accountants indicating that they agree with the disclosures as revised. Any questions regarding the above should be directed to me at (202) 942-1809, or in my absence, to Robert Benton at (202) 942-1811. Sincerely, Robert Burnett Staff Accountant -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
