By: Shirley Khong Text Size: Ziggy was an abandoned dog but now has the most loving, happy home. Not everyone likes dogs but the important thing is do not harm them! Many people want to own a dog not because they love dogs. It because it is a pedigree that can be got for free! Another reason people want a dog is because when it is a puppy it is 'oh soooo cute!' When asked, the children will promise heaven and earth to look after it, bath it, feed it, clean up after it etc. But when boredom sets in the poor pup is completely ignored and will be lying around neglected probably sitting in its own pee and poop! Ziggy was abandoned probably because his grooming became too costly and a nuisance.
Advertisement Nugget was probably abandoned because of all the tumours she has and the owners unwilling to spend money abandoned her. This is humans for you. When they get fed up the first thing that creeps into their mind is to take the easy way out. To give to a shelter would cost money and they probably know that they are hard to rehome. As such cruelty stems from humans sad to say! Subscribe or LOG IN to access this article.
