		<description>That is so sad :(.  Me and my sister take each other&#039;s pets.  I can&#039;t take my own - it is just too hard.  I hope you feel better soon.  </description>

		<description>I had a cat that showed up sick at a feral cat colony I manage.  I took it to have it sent to the Youth In Asia and it pulled up a micro chip.  The owner was shocked because she said the vet had put the cat down.  Turns out the husband had taken the cat to be put down and I think he couldn&#039;t do it - or couldn&#039;t be bothered to do it -  and released the cat because it turned out that his office was very close to the cat colony.  All I know is the women was completely freaked out - and rightly so.   Microchips are an amazing thing - I LOVE them !</description>

		<description>wait...there&#039;s people out there burning dogs, beating kittens with bats and THIS is what you call mean?  I&#039;m not even sure dogs are capable of feeling humiliation!  And my dog does this all the time because she wants me to give her a boost.  When I&#039;m not around, she manages to get up all by herself.</description>

		<description>I am the same I stand by my dogs right to the very end. I I hold them and cuddle them as they have been a friend for all those years can&#039;t leave them on their own when the time comes to have them put down.</description>

		<description>that was my thought too.  I couldn&#039;t just turn over my dog and say &quot;ok, do whatever...&quot;  I&#039;m not saying she doesn&#039;t deserve to have her dog back, but she actually did surrender it so I&#039;m glad Lola was given a second chance.  That&#039;s all that really matters as far as I&#039;m concerned.</description>

		<description>wow this is a tough one. Firstly Lola was brought in injured and was told she was suffering and could not be helped is what I understand the owner was told. If the doctor had said that Lola could be helped and the owner said that she couldnt or didnt WANT to pay for that and then agreed to have her put to sleep then I really could understand why the care worker made a decision to save Lola herself. I am SURE the vets assistants heart was in the right place she was ONLY trying to save the littel dog and she did! I don&#039;t at all believe the intent was to  be deceitful and profit from NOT euthanising Lola rather it is a case of the assistant wanting  to save the little dogs life. I do though think that because this happened that there should be a consent document signed By an owner if they choose to have their animal Put down because they don&#039;t want to pay the expense whereby the vet can have the animal rescued by a group who will take on the financila burden for the dog.</description>

		<description>I always stand by my dogs when they pass. Holding them in my arms. I never ever am not there. They trust us and stay with us for better or worse so I feel bound to do the same. I know its hard to do but its harder to lose your life. So I do whats best for them. As for her choice to put her dog down...it was obviously the wrong choice! She gave up on her so its good that the employee saved that dogs life. I think once you sighn your dog away bc you don&#039;t think they can make it or just cant afford it that you give up ownership of the dog. Since dogs are property still under the law, isnt it like throwing away trash? (I know that was harsh! and Im sorry) but dont you give up your rights to them as well? Besides she couldnt even be bothered with being there till the end so too bad for her.</description>

		<description>I generally would jump on this facility but I am hung up on the fact that LOLA WAS ATTACKED IN HER OWN HOME. Not to mention that she wasn&#039;t really willing to give her dog a fighting chance. But regardless, how is she going to protect her dog while recovering from your other dog, when you couldn&#039;t protect you dog in the first place.  </description>
