Just when the guy was about to leave with the dogs, I suddenly remembered this is Cambodia and not Kentuckiana when my wife made him promise several times that he won't eat these dogs.
'Dog lover' sure can be interpreted in two totally different ways.
I remember your previous post(s) about puppies and therefore it didn't surprise me that your family/ manifested attracted them, but I also agree that dogs should keep the same owner, whenever possible and that leaving them is the worst thing to do.
They sure aren't cats and truly get attached to their owner, that's probably why I prefer dogs over cats. For their unconditional love ( among other things ). Aside from growing up with a beautiful and extremely sweet border collie, one of the greatest dogs ever ;>)
I am glad not everyone thinks I am heartless for preventing a puppy acquisition. I wouldn't be opposed to a cat, but they don't really share a bond with their humans, so I'd rather remain dogless until we have a stable future. Personally, I have been converted from a dog person to Cubano Rojo sheep fan because of the legendary Harry in Suriname.
