Emi and cherry I do agree with what you are saying, but I'm going by what I said of the original owner wanted the dog back she should of just taken them back instead of asking them to split the bill with her. I wouldn't put a dog to sleep even if it was mildy aggressive because there are many fact is like being sick , needing neutered or spayed, even to the fact that they have mistreated them. If the original owner wanted them back she should of just stated that instead of going well he or she needs put in a kennel and will you help split the bill. Yes the owner could of said no but alot of people also have a problem sticking up for themselves, if you remember correctly she said let me ask my husband and ill get back to you, it may of been a case where her husband went and took the dog in to be put to sleep instead of letting her call the original owners back. Her husband may in the end of left her to deal with the mess, of it was me and I had sold an person a dog and they told me that it was aggressive and they were getting rid of it I would just go and get it myself and worry about the cost on my own instead of asking someone else to take care of half of the cost.
We really don't have much to go off honestly in the story, it's all just speculation. I guess a kinda like what do you think situation. But without more details about the situation it's kinda hard to speculate on if that individual is in the wrong. And of course it's written by the rehomer so it would be biased.
Yes Wallace. That does make you a dog killer. I don't even understand how someone could even abuse a dog, much less shoot them. Smh.
It's the way I was raised they get too old take them out back. They get hurt and can't afford hospital bills, say your goodbyes and take them out back. It's normal.
More like Old Yeller. And you could get them properly put down for Christ's sake. When your brother or sister gets sick and you can't afford to take care of them do you shoot them? Maybe it's just me but I consider my dogs a part of my family just as much as any other member.
You do realize the 2 main drugs they use when they put a dog to "sleep" are the same drugs they use for lethal injection.
Well, yeah. I guess that's pretty much true. ? I just couldn't imagine shooting my dog. But when he's sick I can afford to get everything fixed. So I guess it's just life.
Plus you can't compare an animal to a family member. You can replace a dog. You can't replace a family member.
You can't replace a dog either really if you think about it. You may get another dog, but it will never be the same as the original.
But everyone is raised and taught differently. Seriously though can't hate on this chick. Humane societies kill pets everyday if someone hasn't adopted them in a certain amount of time.
I've encountered some crazy, and I mean the type of crazy I'll-come-looking-for-you-at-your-house type animal activist types on social networking sites who even if the dog had chewed the arms and legs off the baby would still blame the person and say the dog shouldn't be harmed. Not saying this is the case, but there's just a name and no verification. Anyone can name and demonise someone on the Internet.
From personal experience from when I adopted my four month puppy she bit a lot too. Hands, people, attacked our feet, and anything she would teeth on. There were some occasions where she actually bit my ear twice ? but, we realized that was puppy behavior and we put all of her energy into toys that we got her. She's one year now and is always carrying a toy with her
I'm not sure if anyone's said this yet, but I personally think both are at fault. Like Anya said, it's inconsiderate of the narrator to ask for money when s/he is already asking for the dog. But the woman should've at least told her. Even if it was just saying that she couldn't pay the money. The narrator probably would have taken the dog anyways, and if not then the woman could've put the dog to sleep without raising a fuss.
