Progress

On thursday night, I was able to sit down with my dad and ask him about his experiences and opinions about animal cruelty. I will not repeat what he said, because I would like to save that for my essay, but he did remind me of the time when I was working at the clinic, and a Pekinese came in. Now, the person who brought this dog in picked him up on the interstate, apparently the owner just didn't care. I suddenly remembered the witness, who saw the dog beign droppoed off, said that he saw the hands of children reaching for the dog. Obviously the dad did not want the dog, and saw it as an opportunity to punish hish children for something they did wrong. About a week later, the owner came in to reclaim the dog, my dad did not want to give the dog back, but it was not his choice, the dog was microchipped. The clinic could have pressed charges but didn't, I will tell you know that if that were me, I would not allow the owner to have the dog back.
It is stories like this that only make me want to stand up for this cause even more.
