Re: How Could You? - An Essay...
The funny thing is- I am crying just reading other people's comments about it today.
This piece has haunted me all night long...
Again I ask- would we give up our kids when we got tired of them or decided they were just too much work?
Why is an animal's life worth less?
I never got that....

I find myself saying "How Could They" in response to stories like this so many more times than I ever thought possible. My heart breaks reading this.

Re: How Could You? - An Essay...
This changed my life. I saw this several years ago. I want to say right after I rescued Hans, my first rescue. When I looked into his eyes and saw that I saved him from such a tragedy that happens to so many animals, it touched me on such a deep level that I have never been the same since.
Thank you for reminding me

This is EXACTLY what it was like for me when we rescued Arnold. That first day I walked into Kent, my life was CHANGED, forever.
I have a pretty full plate - I work 2 jobs, have a husband, a puppy and I still find time to volunteer for the shelter.
I just had to. It's something inside of me that I cannot explain.

Re: How Could You? - An Essay...
ETA: I vowed to myself that after Max, I will never purchase another dog...I will definitely be adopting from the shelter in the future. And when giving away Max's puppies, I made the new owners promise me that if ANYTHING ever happens and they'll think about giving away that dog, to please bring them back to us.

Syl,
I swear, I don't know how on earth you were able to let those puppies go! I don't think I could have done it...
I'm definitely not cut out to be a breeder.

Well, we only got this one little guy and the other two stayed with the mama...but to be honest I had such a hard time...if I had a big property I would have kept him...here he is...all cuddled up on his dada's bed He was so good with us and so smart...jumping through the doggy door the second day he was with us. The good thing is that we'll be able to visit him (we got doggie grandparents visitation rights  ).Image Attachment(s):

Re: How Could You? - An Essay...
I'm one of those people who is not really an animal person but I never understand how people can treat their pets like this. When you adopt a pet (or marry someone who adopts a pet) you have a responsibility to that pet-to protect and love and provide for. How people can neglect this obligation is just astounding. Such a sad little story.

Re: How Could You? - An Essay...
its been a while but I've read that before. its heartbreaking. My mother was an AKC breeder & I grew up showing pure-breed dogs. Even so I'd never buy a pet store dog.
Our dog Jack is with us because a friend of ours adopted him at the beginning of a new relationship & when things didn't work out & she was going to move-she couldn't have pets in her new apartment. So she was planning on bringing him back to North Shore, we took him instead. Its been 6 years.
