This is just another proof of the ignorance that so many people have about pets in this country.......dogs in particular. While it is ignorance I think it stems from the self indulgent and selfish attitude so many people have. They expect everything to be about them and how it satisfies their needs. They are so selfish they do not care about the needs or feelings of an animal. They have no feelings for anyone or anything outside themselves.
I really don't watch this kind of thing on TV. I have seen bits about it on the news and that is more than I can handle. It's narcissism at it's highest.
