You are a person after my own heart. Our furkids are an integral part of our family. Our two newest "found" dogs, Buddy and Rascal, were picked up at a roadside picnic area. They now have a loving home and are blessing our lives. But what happens to the dogs that are not picked up? The article mentions starvation and dehydration, but close to a busy highway, there is the high risk being run over. Yep, we have become an uncaring throw-away society.If it's not convenient, just throw it away.
