same thing happened with my sister and mom when we lived in korea for a bit. they saw this tiny maltese, they named him nilla, and they couldn't leave him. he was in a small cage with 4 other dogs ... it was just so sad they would have taken them all with us but they coudln't. they took him home, he was fine the first two days (they had a vet appt scheduled for monday) then they noticed he wasn't drinking any water and then he become really listless ... they rushed him to the vet and he died that night .. they only had him for 3 days! they were all so upset ... its so sad.
i mean i got kikko from a pet store in taiwan b/c the same reason, when things turned bad there was no way i'd give him back to those pple, who knows what they would have done with him ... and luckily so far he's over most of the worst and i just hope to give him a good life with lots of love and care no matter what pops up later down the road.
its tough to regulate a large number of people with just a few pple. i wish there were more we were all able to do. |
