14. A lot of cultures have that attitude....
Edited on Wed Mar-18-09 11:37 AM by WriteDown
I live in a Hispanic majority neighborhood and once once a chihuahua mix with a scab on its head, but no tags. I had seen it down the block a few times so I knocked on a few houses and finally found the owners. I told them that they should get a tag for the dog. Their response was if the dog ran away or got run over, they would just get a new dog. I don't think they understood how appalled I was. They even had young children so you'd think they'd be more attached to their dog. To some folks though, it seems as if dogs are only tools.

edited for spelling.
