#35 and the reality of it just breaks my heart and we find that people are counting on it! Apparently there are people in this world who know our secret ... most of us in rescue just can't say no!
I wish there were more people in the world like the vet that my daughter works for. It angers him when people come to his hospital asking that their pet be "put down" for the most assinine reasons. He simply tells them to sign the pet over to them and he will do what's best. 99% of the time, they are happy to do that ... they just want to be rid of their problem. What they don't know is that this tenderhearted man will not put an animal down if there is a slim chance that it has more "quality of life". There are many times that there is nothing medically that can be done and he has no choice. One thing is for certain ... that pet will not be alone but surrounded by tech's, holding, kissing and telling that pet what a wonderful pet he/she is and that they love him/her. There is surely a special place in Heaven for him.
