As someone stated before....any pet can be expensive....and you should know that going into becoming a pet parent! It is sad that so many pets get turned over to shelters, etc because their owners realized that having a pet was more than they could afford or handle.
Yes, some people do think of their dogs as just "dogs", but I don't know how...every dog I have ever owned was more than just a "dog" to me...one look into those eyes full of love and loyality....no way...that is more than just a "dog".
But even w/ just a "dog" they have vet bills too....But I know some people may not be able to afford such high bills or want to mess w/ it....but I just think that is sad
