Well, I guess we folks at Pet Talk consider our cat/dogs etc. children, and who would abandon their child, but I can see that it's also hard for the people who is left there with nothing, especially if they are old.

I can understand why the owner has to do this if he lost everything in the tornado, however, it's not something that I could ever do. I would have to keep my furkids, even if it meant that we had to live in a tent! They have always been here for me, thru good and bad/thick and thin, and I will always be here for them - NO MATTER WHAT!!!

I'm kind of hoping that, with this story picking up so many readers, somebody will cut the humans enough slack that they can keep him after all.
So mote it be.

Amazing story and sad as well. I feel like you all do. I'd never give up on my dog (or any pet).
When I worked in the city, a man who became homeless stayed with his dogs. He'd only ask for handouts for his dogs, who were social, friendly, and looked in good shape, considering the situation.
I've been Boooo'd!

I recently read an article which I can't find now about homeless people keeping their dogs with them even after losing everything else. There are now veterinary clinics springing up specifically for homeless people's dogs, so people can still spay/neuter, vaccinate, and have injuries looked after. The article mentioned that some homeless women are adopting large dogs - not as begging props, but as protectors.
I have a hard time with people adopting cats and dogs just as window-dressing ("I'M HUNGRY AND SO IS MY DOG") but I figure no decent shelter would hold with that anyway, and they're mostly hooking up with strays.

Makes my day, such a cute little fellow too.
