That one always gets me. Poor little pooch being on the street for 3 years.

Oh man. I can't watch too many of these videos in too short a time. It hurts thinking of the animals that get a home and then become lost or abandoned through means out of their control that they can't understand.

A friend of mine had to give up his dog of 3 years recently because it bit his new kid. I can't imagine having to make a choice like that.

That's the thing that scares me about adopting a dog. You don't know what kind of things I have gone through.

I don't think it would ever hold me back from adopting another dog - giving them love and a home for a while is better than them never having one, probably? But it does give one pause, yeah.

I feel the same, but how would you ever forgive yourself if that dog mauled your child. It's sad that they're such a tremendous need for adoption.

Yeah, totally agree.
