I didn't say anything the first time, because I didn't want to offend him.
So I decided to print up articles on how small dogs shouldn't wear collars, information on collapsed trachea, a list of harness that don't cause pressure to the neck, and decided to buy him a puppia harness and a harness dress.
The next day when I noticed he was outside, I went out there with my baby and and his dog started to gag when she got excited about her buddy being outside. I took that time to tell him about the information, and to also show him why a harness is better.
And I lifted my baby up, and showed that it doesn't hurt the neck, and he wont gag. I mentioned its very important to have a harness where we live because we have a big field in our apartment complex and lately a lot of stray pit bulls have been coming through.
The guy was so happy that I told him, he felt so bad that he was "damaging" his poodle and even started to cry. |
Aww, you are sooo sweet! You bought him a harness & a harness dress
I wish there were more people like you in this world. Shoot, I wish I could meet some people like the wonderful people we have on YT! Good for you for educating him
