Your pet will never stop loving you.

[Catherine]

I know, this is a really sad post. Every year people walk away from unconditional, undying love, the kind only a dog can give.

The decent ones at least provide for the pet.
I don't even know what to say about the ones that leave a pet on the side of the road.  They don't deserve that love.
The thing about dogs is that they don't ask if we deserve to be loved. They just love us.

Growing up two of our neighbours got puppies and then didn't want them when they grew up. The one family didn't even make excuses, they took it to a vet  and had it killed. It broke their son's heart.

The second family let the dog out so the pound could pick him up and then they left him there until they killed him. Andy must have sat there day after day hoping they would come, until his time ran out. I am sure he was faithful to the end. I hope he never doubted that he was a good dog who deserved better people than that.
