What about all the babies that were killed that day through abortion?

[Red in Blue PA]

Take a hike pal.

[chris37]

Ah that is just super awesome.

Lucky little fellow.

[chris37]

There isn’t anything this lady or this dog could do for them, is there?

[artichokegrower]

This woman did something kind and wonderful in an often too cruel world how about you?

[whinecountry]

Thanks very much Joe and artichoke, God bless this woman and the little dog. Blurry screen alert.

[skippyjonjones]

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Jeff Chandler]

An item on the list is to take the dog to dinner at a restaurant. How stupid is that?

[Jeff Chandler]

I know what you mean. Half the people going soft over this are fine with butchering babies.

“His former owners left him at a high-kill shelter”

Soulless.

What I would not give to have one more year..or month..or week...even a day with my gone dogs.

What I have done, when they were down and near the end, just to keep them happy and going a bit longer.

No matter how long I had them, it was never time enough.

No matter how much “trouble” it was to help them get around, I never thought it a burden.

Every single second was a blessing to have.

And they dumped him.

Just soulless.

Subaru has new “old dog bucket list” commercial that guts me.

Wish they’d stop showing it.

Some people who claim to be Christian, simply can't, just can't resist the urge to pee in the punchbowl if someone else feels good.

I did something similar with a 20 year old cat recently.
My folks had to move into assisted living and couldn’t take care of him anymore. No shelter would take him and the only alternative was to have him put down. He looked like pet cemetery but he was still alert and got around okay so I decided that, even if he’s only got a few months left, I was going to make sure he got them.
It ended up being only two, but it’s two months he wouldn’t have had otherwise.
And he was my bud the whole time.

[Salamander]

Some people just can’t emotionally multi-task.

Others resent the love people show their pets.

Even more focused on one single cause, to the exclusion of all others.

Saving animals and saving babies is not mutually exclusive.

Often, the heart that reaches out to critters loves the babies, too.

I will say that Salvation managed to get a huge bunch of people praying for ‘Halla, during her short, doomed life.

For that, I will always be grateful.

[null and void]

Yeah. Subaru’s “they lived” ad gets me every time.

[artichokegrower]

Probably not but then I ask you what did you do today to make the world a better place? I think this woman is a wonderful person and I wish there were more like her.

[Jeff Chandler]

if someone else feels good.

Because it's all about FEEEEEELINGs.

[rikkir]

I saw this story on Facebook, and didn’t read it as I knew I’d be unable to finish due to blurry screen syndrome.

[Salamander]

No we’re not.

Bless the beasts and children.
They have no voice.
They have no choice.

For some of us, it’s two sides of the same coin.
