an abandoned dog

i feel somehow i have this affinity to save abandoned dogs/puppies. it's either i was been told about the poor fella, or i've found it wondering about aimlessly. so far i've met are puppies. sad isn't it? well, we can't blame the pup coz' they just too young to understand or recognize their owner. furthermore, the outside world deemed too intriguing for them to resist the temptation to explore. anyway, at the end of the day, it's a owner's responsibility to take good care of their pets. even if they had reasons to give it away, they really shouldn't just "leave it to fate" to decide on the dog's destiny.

the picture of this cute bear bear...






cute isn't he?

this boy is found sleeping inside a box with a small container of water and some lump of dried food. or i don't think that's food la. if YM hadn't seen a couple hovering over the box, he didn't even notice the box was there, what's more to the content in the box!

to cut the story short, i was on the verge to send this boy to the police station (instructed by SPCA when i called up). then this 2 men intended to walk pass me but stopped when they saw this little fella. and after much consideration (and my desperation to house this pup), he managed to convince himself that he'll take it home while i source for a new owner. yeah!

we exchanged numbers to keep each other updated about the adoption. and just when one of the men brought the pup home, i received a call from him that he didn't know how to handle his whines. *slaps forehead* okay, he didn't have a dog before, so, oh well. *shrugs*

the next day, i was like guilt-stricken and all. i made efforts to sign up pet forums and post ads, hoping to get responds. i even went to pray at the temple near school (which i do everyday).

okay, finally some genuine owners offered to take up this pup. i'm like super relieved! but now, that guy is abit reluctant to let it go coz' "he's quite cute". and when i asked if his family are okay with the dog, he didn't answer me directly and divert me by telling me that he's impressed the way i handled adoption and blah blah blah. so i wasn't pleased but told him politely that i'm doing what i need to do to ensure the pup is in good hands as i don't want to end up "killing" the pup instead of helping it. and then he pleaded to give him over the weenends but my adopter don't wanna wait so long, so he bo bian agreed to gimme the answer by Friday.

haix, the more he drag the more he would be reluctant to give up. and i'm still doubting whether he would really be sincere about adopting him as i feel he's not looking past that cute face. apparently, that "cute face" will still poo and pee. not as if he's cute and cuddly, he won't behave like a living thing. duh!

anyway, i was considering him for myself... a company for Fuji, but, too handful for me la. as much as i would like it, taking in a pup and training it all over again from scratch, it's traumatising la. even though i've survived from that phase, but i'm not too enthusiastic about taking it on.

i'm now hoping for the best, crossing my fingers whoever would to take on the pup is someone responsible.
