41 forum posts 1 photos | Sadly, in some countries many dogs are regarded as tools to be thrown away once they cease to be useful, or worse, simply killed. A bit like tossing a drill bit into the bin or to rust away outside because it is blunt or chipped. Fortunately there are people in these countries who care enough to set up no kill shelters to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome these dog, relying on donations to do so. A broken blunt drill can be sharpened again, it might be a bit shorter, but perfectly serviceable. It is the same with rescued dogs, but a little more than a few minutes on the grinder, more like weeks, months or even years of patience, love, care and commitment Covid lockdown has seen a sharp rise in dog ownership for all sorts of reasons and has become quite a lucrative opportunity for puppy farmers and breeders. Just look at the prices being asked for puppies since lockdown first started, particularly for pure breeds and designer dogs. I am somewhat nervous that some these Covid dogs may find themselves neglected or homeless once people start returning to work, or as famity finances become stretched as government support is phased out, or until unemployment can be reduced. On thing I will say, I am glad that there are organisations like the RSPCA, battersea, Blue Cross, Dogs Trust together with many small local, or breed specific charities all working to save dogs from us bloomin' humans.

![]() 2668 forum posts 352 photos | Totally agree with you there Mike. My brother in law got a Beagle 3 years ago from the Dogs trust on the A64 Leeds. Dare i say it was owned & neglected by a pretty famous football player. What a lovely dog it has turned out to be. Every body loves him & he loves everybody, especially women. He had the chop but still wows the women. Steve. |
