Think about this!

                                                                             Hi guys!
      This time I’m here to share an experience of mine with you. Recently I happened to go to one of my friend’s house to meet her (you'll know the reason as you read further ;). She is a person who loves dogs. But for a long time she didn’t have one of her own. For quite some time I was wondering on what kept her from adopting a pup. But finally I came to know the reason. She had been reluctant to have a dog coz of her family. Her parents hated dogs. And they didn’t want her to have one. She had tried a lot to convince them but all her efforts went down the drain.
But her love for dogs was so much that she decided to adopt a pup against her parents’ consent. She brought home a male Labrador and named it Dan. When she told me that she’s got a pup I was so excited. I was really happy for her. I decided to meet the new guest but had to postpone it due to some reasons. I got the chance to go to her house after a month. When I went there I was shocked. Dan was so skinny and malnourished. When I asked my friend she said that her mom did not give Dan any food. As she was working she wasn’t able to be at home all day. And this became a terrible thing for Dan. I thought that there should be some reason for my friend’s mom for behaving like this. I decided to ask her directly. But the answer that I got from her was more shocking. She said that Dan peed often. She said she was fed up with Dan’s poop and pee. Therefore she decided to feed him less.
Now guys, you temme! Is this fair? Just coz you can’t clean your pup’s poop is it fair to let him starve? If people can’t take good care of their pets why do they adopt them? Incidents like these are really upsetting. Pets need care and affection the same way we do. They ain’t different from us. So guys, try to keep your pet happy and healthy. This is the lesson that I learnt from my friend’s case. Do drop in your comments about this incident. I’d love to hear from you.Cheers!
P.S – Jeez! I didn’t tell you what happened to Dan. My friend wasn’t able to bear the way Dan was treated. So she gave him away to another friend of hers. Now Dan is leading a happy life there. He has got a family that treasures him. And my friend, she goes there often to see Dan. Now both are happy and so am I. :)
