Very good post. While I understand that not everyone wants to spend 100 dollars on a dog waterer and another 200 on a dog bed just like theirs, I also cannot understand why someone would seem to be uncaring about the future of the animal they took in. It seems uncaring because he said he didn't care about whether she was bred or not and that makes me sad.

I wish Daisy the best of luck in a good life, she deserves it. It is not her fault she doesn't "measure up". She wasn't trained, is not allowed to be with her "pack", and has no choice in the matter. Having owned this breed, it hurts my heart to see her.

I don't doubt Tim cares for her in his own way, but I cannot fathom feeling that way about my dog, and I just wish I hadn't had to see it, even though it's not unexpected.
