They will never leave you sick and alone, never say a word that cuts to the bone, never criticize or suppress you.

When you take on a dog or a cat, it is for their lifetime, not for your convenience. Some dogs get sick as a result of a genetic disorder, some dogs play or fall and break a bone, but still it is your responsibility to provide the best of care for your little one.

And then sometimes the owner makes a mistake, they step on a foot and break it, a pup jumps or falls out of their arms and is hurt. So you have caused this injury, you are doubly responsible for caring for this pup until well. If you can't afford to, then surrender it, but do your best to keep it safe until then.

They are not JUST a DOG.

I could not have said it better myself!!
