I've never owned a dog, but have always wanted to. I've decided when I know I am financially able to I will. However, the other day I was driving at night and saw a dog running accross a busy street. He was hit and no one stopped. I pulled over and picked him up. He was a white poodle. I called the shelter, but they wouldn't be open for me to bring him in until the next day. I brought him in to ask about what I should do and they said the owner has 30 days to find him and they could keep him or I could. I couldn't leave him there; he looked so sad. So I took him home. I fed and nurtured him and in a short time we became close. I knew I didn't have the resources to take him to a vet and even though I've never owned a dog I could tell he was sick. So I found someone who could afford to care for him until the 30 days were up and she said she'd find him a home. When I went to met her to give her the dog, I cried. It broke my heart to leave him. He tried to follow me and looked so so sad. I cried all day. She called me and said she took him to a vet and he was severely dehydrated and needed surgery for a cut he had under his leg. I knew I had made the right choice by giving him to someone who could better care for him; but my heart was still broken. I miss him so much. If he wasn't sick I could take care of him, because food isn't expensive. I could have afforded that; I just couldn't afford taking him to a vet. I have so much love to give him, but that's all I could offer
- Prince, I understand how you feel and I hope in time you're pain will heal. Take care.
