to many people, dogs are sadly still considered "throw-away objects"
yep they do...anything with a face should be loved and cared for....
the people who breed banned dogs should be sent to prison,they make fortunes of money

Not for me! Once both of our dogs pass away, that is it for us. It was rather too much when it comes to long distance traveling.
