Those statistics are sad! I would never have guessed that many people did not keep a pet, especially one they rescue!
The other day I got very upset over an article in our paper. It started on the front page and I just skimmed through and started complaining the situation was unfair and should change. When I finally got around to continuing the article on the inside page of the paper......I saw that there was much more to the story and my first impression was really inappropriate. I guess there are a lot of times there is "
more to the story" than a first glance would tell.
Rescue folks -- keep doing what you do! We really do appreciate it!
