I agree with you Sammi. Food and grooming are not unexpected expenses you accept those then you agree to adopt a dog. I don't think that should have been put on the debt page. But the family doesn't exactly look like they are struggling. If you look at the backgrounds of the pictures they appear to have a pretty nice looking house. While I'm not denying that the dog ran up some huge medical bills, it just doesn't seem like this family is poverty stricken because of the dog.
