We live in a rural part of KY. Not quite like Deliverence or anything like that, but we get a lot of dogs dropped out here. A couple of days ago a Lab showed up. What a sweetheart of a dog. I don't understand dropping dogs.
as long as she stays she will be welcome,fed and cared for. We found out she loves to play with a tennis ball. I just wish the laws were enforced her.Here's what I think for what it's worth.if you get caught dropping a dog,we take you out west to the desert and drop you about 10 miles out with no food or water. Good Luck!!! The worst part about this is these people who drop these dogs will go right out and get another one. If that one doesn't isn't what they expected,guess what? We get a new dog. I know this is a rant but Ive we've lived here for 8 years and I've buried 3 dogs that were so badly neglected we couldn't save them. It just makes me sick that people would do this to a poor animal. On the up side we have done our best to see that we find them good homes where they will be loved. That's all they want.

    I can't stand seeing animals abused or left. If you're going to take on an animal you have a responsibility to raise it and provide for it just like you would a baby. Except this creature will be totally dependant on you for it's natural life, hopefully a baby wouldn't. If you don't want to be there for it then don't buy the damn animal.

    Some people are just too stupid to have a dog or a cat. That sounds harsh but it's the bitter truth. Lot of animals die each day just because the owner don't take care of them, a pity. There should be stricter rules for people who want to have a pet.

    We have to have a license to drive but yet somehow we don't have to have a license to have kids or raise an animal. There are lots of people who deserve neither.

    Kudos to you for taking in that stray dog.

    Pets are too easy to acquire... kids are too... some folk should have neither.

    Labs are beautiful, good on you for taking care of her.
