With the exception of my real children, I love my dogs as much as anything else in the entire world.
They’re my fur-babies, those I have adopted and taken on the responsibility to raise and care for. We share a bond that’s as sacred to me as it is to them, and as a result there is no scenario or circumstance that could force me to mistreat them.
Sadly, the same cannot be said of everyone. There exist people who don’t grant a dog’s life the same status as that of a human’s, there are people who are happy to buy or take in a dog one day, only to dump or abandon it the next.
