I read your another post ' Story of Hope'..I wanted to reply,but the discussion is closed. There are a lot of similar issues in my country. If people that abandon dogs thought their dogs are one of family, they can't do that. Sometimes, I couldn't even look at an abandoned dog because it's too cruel. Some people just abandon because a dog grew up. Dogs are getting older like us. They will have illness like us. I hope that people don't have a dog as a doll. I was a mom of my two dogs. I've never forgot them in my mind. I hope people love their dog as their family with a strong responsibility. I was thankful for the post, and I'm sorry to reply here...
