This is the guy who adopted Tony the overweight German shepherd, he helped him lose 55lbs! Lot respect for this guy 🤩

[@masavrabl2128]

I wanna be this guy... I would give anything to have the money to support dogs and other animals. This is what i would do, but for now I have to count the small victories :D like helping a hedgehog of the road and helping birds of the ground. Not much but i do what i can when i can.

[@hal9khal]

@@masavrabl2128 I once find a hedgehog in late autumn and he seemed quite small, definitely a youngster. So I decided to catch him, feed him and figuring what to do next.. Boy he was so pissed, he was stomping angrily at me, smelled shockingly strong and bad, but he accepted dog's food without a hesitation and forgot for a moment to be angry.. Then I started research, weighted him and found he was quite safely beyond necessary weight to survive winter, so I released him again on the same place I found him. He was standing there thinking "What the hell just happened... Buuut my stomach is full, so I guess it wasn't that bad.."

The dog is praised for the useful work it performs in the household, but it is also seen as having special spiritual virtues. A dog's gaze is considered to be purifying and to drive off daevas (demons). It is also believed to have a special connection with the afterlife: the Chinwad Bridge to Heaven is said to be guarded by dogs in Zoroastrian scripture, and dogs are traditionally fed in commemoration of the dead. Ihtiram-i sag , "respect for the dog", is a common injunction among Iranian Zoroastrian villagers. Detailed prescriptions for the appropriate treatment of dogs are found in the Vendidad (a subdivision of the Zoroastrian holy scripture Avesta ), especially in chapters 13, 14 and 15, where harsh punishments are imposed for harm inflicted upon a dog and the faithful are required to assist dogs, both domestic and stray, in various ways; often, help or harm to a dog is equated with help and harm to a human. The killing of a dog ("a shepherd's dog, or a house-dog, or a Vohunazga [i.e. stray] dog, or a trained dog") is considered to lead to damnation in the afterlife. A homeowner is required to take care of a pregnant dog that lies near his home at least until the puppies are born (and in some cases until the puppies are old enough to take care of themselves, namely six months). If the homeowner does not help the dog and the puppies come to harm as a result, "he shall pay for it the penalty for wilful murder", because " Atar (Fire) watches as well (over a pregnant dog) as he does over a woman". It is also a major sin if a man harms a dog by giving it bones that are too hard and become stuck in its throat, or food that is too hot, so that it burns its throat. Giving bad food to a dog is as bad as serving bad food to a human. The believers are required to take care of a dog with a damaged sense of smell, to try to heal it "in the same manner as they would do for one of the faithful" and, if they fail, to tie it lest it should fall into a hole or a body of water and be harmed. @zoroastrianism.wisdom @Zardasht_afrin1998

I don't necessarily disagree in this case but isn't getting your pet to a shelter if you can't take care of it, the least you can do? Is it praiseworthy not to dump a pet you've had for 16 years or basic empathy? Also, you usually can't guess a dog's past from their personality. Sadly, some of the MOST loving, friendly, devoted dogs I know (inc my own), came from abuse/neglect.

Dogs in Zoroastrianism Religion : In Zoroastrianism, the dog is regarded as an especially beneficent, clean and righteous creature, which must be fed and taken care of. The dog is praised for the useful work it performs in the household, but it is also seen as having special spiritual virtues. A dog's gaze is considered to be purifying and to drive off daevas (demons). It is also believed to have a special connection with the afterlife: the Chinwad Bridge to Heaven is said to be guarded by dogs in Zoroastrian scripture, and dogs are traditionally fed in commemoration of the dead. Ihtiram-i sag , "respect for the dog", is a common injunction among Iranian Zoroastrian villagers. Detailed prescriptions for the appropriate treatment of dogs are found in the Vendidad (a subdivision of the Zoroastrian holy scripture Avesta ), especially in chapters 13, 14 and 15, where harsh punishments are imposed for harm inflicted upon a dog and the faithful are required to assist dogs, both domestic and stray, in various ways; often, help or harm to a dog is equated with help and harm to a human. The killing of a dog ("a shepherd's dog, or a house-dog, or a Vohunazga [i.e. stray] dog, or a trained dog") is considered to lead to damnation in the afterlife. A homeowner is required to take care of a pregnant dog that lies near his home at least until the puppies are born (and in some cases until the puppies are old enough to take care of themselves, namely six months). If the homeowner does not help the dog and the puppies come to harm as a result, "he shall pay for it the penalty for wilful murder", because " Atar (Fire) watches as well (over a pregnant dog) as he does over a woman". It is also a major sin if a man harms a dog by giving it bones that are too hard and become stuck in its throat, or food that is too hot, so that it burns its throat. Giving bad food to a dog is as bad as serving bad food to a human. The believers are required to take care of a dog with a damaged sense of smell, to try to heal it "in the same manner as they would do for one of the faithful" and, if they fail, to tie it lest it should fall into a hole or a body of water and be harmed. @zoroastrianism.wisdom @Zardasht_afrin1998

[@marvnuts]

There's an elderly couple in my neighborhood and they always adopt senior dogs. I see them with a new dog every few years.

[@poorthing]

Do you know a lot of shelters put age limits on the person adopting? It's happened to me several times. & That's ok with me. A senior dog is more suitable to me anyway. I was denied a young ( puppy to 2yr old) dog because of my age. I was in my early 60s. I didn't and don't feel old!!! But...that is where a lot of shelters draw the line. I already decided on giving older/unwanted dogs a home anyway. I understand if the adopter were in mid 70s a puppy might be problematic because a lot of smaller dogs can live to be 17-20 yr. Same with kittens. I currently have 2 senior cats...in late teens. My rescue dog is 4. I have had a poodle that lived in his 20s. A small chi mix 17 yr old. You MUST make arrangements for your pets--at any age--but especially if you are a senior.

Small dogs do live longer, and that's a good thing. I feel like it's only kind to remind you that the day does inevitability come. Having been with your dog most of your life will be doubly hard, so make all the memories you can. They will help a lot. I have been parted from many loving friends but the hardest was my cat Dancer. We were together for 21 years, almost half my life when she passed. My vet reminded me, the pain of losing my best friend could be eased by remembering the love, the companionship and even the silliness. It worked. Six years later, those are what I think of when she comes to mind. Of course the four rescued rascals acquired since then help as well.
