If you have all the time and money in the world, you can 'save" just about anything. The question is, as always, should you?

Awesome little guy. Hate to see great animals suffer through stuff like that.

Well the very video shows that you should. Just a little time, a little work and they saved this dog from being euthanized. What's wrong with that?

It would have been right either way. One of them just makes for a better cry.

Wow. You are pretty cynical. If it isn't costing you any money, or any time, why does it bother you so much?
It doesn't. It is what it is.

It's right to kill a dog that can be given a decent quality of life in under a month? On what planet?

Earth. Lots of things don't last a day, assuming they made it that far to begin with.

It doesn't. It is what it is.

Then why comment? If you aren't interested in the topic matter, don't be such a buzzkill. Go find somewhere else to be cynical. There are lots of other threads here that you can spread your sunshine in.

I am interested. That's why I posted that coins always have two sides.

Yup, that's true. But things are rather different when we're talking about killing them ourselves.

I should have known from your SN, really. Is that what you do here? Shuffle around muttering, "It doesn't matter anyway, man"?

Re: Prepare to cry, like a lot.

Is there any point in arguing over this? I mean, millions of dogs die every year from human neglect, and probably a million are saved. This is much ado about nothing.

I like it when life makes something feel-good happen, but I'm not into emotional knee-jerk stories.

I fully agree with you, just surprised - if abortion was common for dogs, wouldn't you have supported ending this life before given a chance?

John, how many times have I gone over the whole bodily sovereignty concept with you? Do you still not get it?

Why am I not surprised you'd turn a puppy thread into yet another abortion sinkhole? If you are really having a hard time with this bodily sovereignty thing, please start a thread in the appropriate bog pit.

WHY CAN NO ONE JUST ENJOY THE PUPPIES!?

Why! On the planet where people are tired of living of course! Where else?

Once the music started I stopped the video; I'm a bit tired of such emotional tricks I'm afraid.

Maybe it's the cat-lover in me, I usually like puppies - I don't "enjoy" the badly trained monsters many grow up to become though.

Re: Prepare to cry, like a lot.

I did tear up, it was precious. I don't see how it's an issue. People saw an animal in need and chose to help that animal. The animal made progress and was saved. They gave him a new shot at life. Why not enjoy the puppy, his progress, and know that these animals can be helped? I don't really see the need to argue about anything.
