I work with adoptions and rescues in Kochi, and today I got a call that really made me question humanity. A guy wanted to give away his 8-year-old dog who hasn’t seen a proper vaccination in ages just so he could buy a new puppy. I told him I couldn’t help because I only take in dogs if their situation is truly dire. Seriously, dogs are not disposable; they’re not like last season’s fashion trend!
When I explained this, he insisted it was his personal choice and I should mind my own business. Then he hit me with this gem: “If you were married and wanted a divorce, who would stop you?” I couldn’t help but reply, “Are you actually married to your dog?”
Things escalated, and he verbally assaulted me like I was his least favorite politician. Honestly, if only he could channel that energy into compassion! Here’s hoping he figures out the true meaning of loyalty, preferably before he gets a new, younger sidekick!
