Sad Reality

That made me teary. You need an emotional warning label on that one.

Heh- I had some acquaintances that worked at the humane society once. They kept adopting the dogs. They were pissed all the time. No wonder none of them work there anymore. That would be an incredibly difficult job.

I really don't wish to be rude because I have exactly the same feelings as all you above posted - it's just that I work with children with mental and behavouril handicaps but it often stikes me as odd how we as humans feel so intensly for the plight of puppies and kittens and little tortoises, birds etc when we steel our emotions for our own kind. I've seen hard men bawl like babies for a dead dog and stand dignified for a dead relative. Just asking anyone how do we do that? Why do we do that? It is an answer I need to understand if anyone could provide it I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Becouse dogs are better than people, it's a greater loss.
