Maybe I wasn't clear enough or you can't read my mind as well as I thought
. I should have added that in addition to there already being a life long commitment in place, they are already
family.
I was thinking from the perspective of that while I personally would never chose to adopt a special needs pup or child, I don't feel that is comparable to providing continued care to an existing family member that suffers a catastrophic injury/illness. I would no sooner get rid of my pup in such a circumstance than I would my child as they are already mine and we have the bond/love/commitment already in place. I believe that situation to be completely different than choosing to take on the medical/behavioral/mental issues of a stranger.
