a dog to be abandoned

Feb 25, 2011 / /

 

It was rainy but quite a lovely warm day today.  I cannot believe that it snowed heavily about a week ago! 

 

This afternoon, when Jack and I was taking a walk, we met an old man and a black Labrador mix.  They live near my place. He told me that they are moving out next month.  I was so shocked when he started to talk about the Labrador to give away because the new place is too small to keep a dog.  The words nearly came out of my mouth, "I can't believe it ...!"  Why? For 8 years he has had the Lab and how could he and his family abandon her?  The Lab is a girl, weigh seemingly about 15 kg, has beautiful thick black coat.  She is so friendly and has a beautiful brown eyes!  I really don't understand why such a beautiful good dog like her has to be abandoned?!

According to him, he will take her to the animal care centre if he wouldn't find anyone to keep her.   The animal care centre!  The place Jack was from and where stray dogs and cats are killed like garbage!!  NO!  

I promised him to find someone who wants the Lab. I hope  I will find the one anytime soon. I told Yoshi about this and he offered the idea that we temporarily take care of her until we will find a new owner. So she wouldn't have to go to the centre.  I was impressed Yoshi said so.  I felt happy to have him as my husband! I am so proud of him.
