I have put down multiple dogs and I have raised multiple dogs, I own two Springer Spaniels and a Pug. I feel I know how a dog is feeling or what it needs by the way they act or look at you. A dog is a living thing that needs to use the bathroom and be exercised and eat just like humans and they can’t do it without the help of a loving caring human. My dad would leave for deer hunting and I wouldn’t spend the week with 3 dogs taking care of all there different needs and my girlfriend and her family went to Mexico I took care of there dogs for a week and it was great. I love meeting new dogs and I believe you can make friends with them and they may not be able to speak but the bond is definitely there. I have friends and people I care about but there are nothing I love more then my dogs.
