The problem is that in most states, dogs are merely property. You cannot compare children as they are not viewed the same way.
Bottom line is that the options are slim for people with sick dogs. That is not the fault of the vets or the insurance companies. Vets spend a lot of money on their education and also there is overhead when running a business. They cannot afford to give free care to people....I can only imagine if the word got out about someone getting free vet care...people would be lined up for days.
The truth is you have to think things through when you get a pet. There are always things that can happen.
I can tell you that I would sell everything I own to care for one of mine...thankfully it will probably not come to that; but I am just saying that I understand the responsibilities.
This is just another tragic story about a person with a sick dog that they cannot afford to care for.
