I had stopped at a rural crossroads just out side of the college town Corvalis, OR and had a small puppy come out of the brush to my car. I was young and had never heard of the dispicable act of dumping puppies like that. I sincerely thought it belonged to a nearby farm house and took it there. The very kind lady said it was not hers but she took it in. Probably wasn’t the first time she took in throw aways. That puppy was young & small enough not to have made it through the night if I had not come upon it.
“That puppy was young & small enough not to have made it through the night if I had not come upon it.”
I have a friend who lives outside a university town in Alabama. He’s on a farm and has taken in dozens of abandoned animals. He says he sometimes sits in his house and sees the kids dropping them off.
I just can’t imagine abandoning a pet. I’m a cat guy and I can’t imagine anything more loving and trusting than a cat you’ve raised.
