Yesterday we were driving to Houston and found a starving pup, possibly a pit bull. The dogs ribs almost show through. Its possible the dog escaped by accident, and has been on the run for a month, but I doubt it. I think the dog wasnt fed properly and was dropped off. We took him home and have started fattening him up. A point. Dropping a dog off in the hopes of someone finding it is not good. That doesnt make you a good person. That sucks. The animal shelter certainly puts dogs to death, but dogs are also adopted. There are also some No Kill Shelters. But the point is starving slowly, being hit by a car, is far worse than a dog being put to sleep. And there is that possibility of adoption. Choosing a dog, and then abandoning them because life gets tough or you have decided you want to go on a trip is stupid and cruel and inhumane. Anyway. I have a new dog. In a couple of months you wont recognize him as the skeleton we picked up on the road.
