YT is such a cool place...Seeing everyone rally around Mary and offer support and assistance is really heartwarming. While there are many varying opinions and personalities on this board, one thing is for certain...we all love these dogs!!
IMO, a future with Mary or Lady Jane is a win win situation for Yoshi. At least he and Mary now have options!!
I just hope that he finds his way into a loving home with someone who can properly care for him...and I don't think it's where he's at now. These people found Yoshi in bad condition, YET it took them 5 months to get him to a veterinarian?!? IMO, he should have been taken to a vet right away and that right there should show you their priority in getting him medical care.
I don't know their situation, so I am not going to judge them or try to guess WHY it took them that long to get him medical attention, but that would be reason enough for me not to leave him there...regardless of how much they care about Yoshi. You can love a dog all you want...but love is not going to fix a broken leg...it's not going to buy pills to prevent heartworm....it's not going to pay the vet bills when a dog gets sick from lack of vaccinations.
I don't doubt that these people love Yoshi...but the fact that they waited 1/2 a year to get him medical attention makes me worry about his health and well being, if he were left in their care. |
