What do you mean -- "kind of cute?" ????
IF the owners of the dogs have insurance on them, the insurance company can provide investigators to find out what really happened leading to the deaths of those poor dogs. Insurance can also provide some restitution to the owners for the enormous financial investment they lost when the dogs died. What insurance can never do is really replace the years of loving, nurturing, and special breeding that went in to each of their dogs. It cannot replace the bonds they undoubtedly had with dogs just as special to them as our yorkies are to us. It can give them some financial assistance to get the dogs autopsied (which may be done at police expense), get them home, and either buried or cremated. It should provide money to help continue their breeding program so hopefully another top show dog will emerge. So, although I find nothing
CUTE about insurance, it does serve a purpose and could possibly help these poor, grieving owners in some small ways.
As far as saying Sugar's Mom is being irrational, I do not agree with that at all. She is simply saying this is an example of why she would never entrust her precious dogs to a handler. Of course, she knows not every one of them will leave dogs unattended in hot vans. But she also knows none of the handlers would have quite the same bond with her dogs that she does. Only if she is providing the care, would she feel entirely confident of their safety. I think I would feel the same way. I really thought about trying to show that way since I cannot be on the road at this time of my life. But I would not want to let my dogs go away with someone else either. That does not make either of us irrational -- just protective.
We might just be misinterpreting what each other is saying. The written word is much harder to convey than with speech. Bottom line, I think we all care about our dogs and find this tragedy overwhelmingly sad.
