I was just noticing today on my local radio station (on a FSOT block) that there were about 5 ads for missing dogs, which is pretty strange in my small rural town. They were all purebred dogs....which really makes me think they weren't so much missing...more like stolen
It is really sad that someone would steal a family pet, which in most cases are really more like stealing a member of the family.
I remember when my husband and I got our first dog shortly after we were married, he told me I could never have a real baby, because I was too paranoid about our furbaby...well since then I have had children, and am really just as overprotective of my children as I am my dog, they are both my family so why wouldn't I be? My children are never out of my sight and neither is my dog.
