Why do we get so attached to animals.

[facthunter]

In the wild, animals perish badly as part of the big scheme of things. Around here, snake bite is a common way for pets to die and that's not nice for them. As a Kid I saw greyhounds rip small dogs apart.. My wife has been Savaged by a friends Doberman that had always been OK, and both of US are good with animals. . Dogs are NOT humans. WE make them dependent on us  by the way we breed them and treat them. Many of them wouldn't last long in the wild anymore.. YOU didn't independently do anything to end your dogs existence. It's to do with external circumstances. They don't get a risk free guarantee by being domesticated. Cars for instance kill and maim them.. I can't do anything for your Doggie but I care for what it's doing to you. Don't take it out on yourself. Nev
