2 Miles: Loose Dog

I have commented time and time again on this blog how pets are nice to have, but simply are too much responsibilitiy. It is like having a kid that nevers grow up. This is the case as I saw a dog walking around and it appeared to be lost. This was a cute pooch and it had tags around its neck.

We tried calling it over to take a peek and see if we could return it to its home, but it refuse to approach us and we weren't willing to take a chance at it reacting badly to us.

The bottom line is that if you're going to adopt a pet, make sure that you are fully equiped to take on this responsibility. I felt very badly to see this poor animal running around homeless and obviously quite upset that it could not find its way home. I can also imagine two children asking their parents what happened to their pet. This is simply a lose-lose situation and it happens because somebody decided that they could take on a responsibility they just simply weren't equiped to handle. If this is a pet, imagine what happens to some that do the same and decide to have children when they are also not ready.
