[@bassmaster117]

I don't care what anyone says this guy's awesome. I found my dog hiding in the bushes at a gas station 3 years ago. I took him to the vet and they pulled his chip info. I called them for 3 months everyday. No answer. Then we found out that he was actually from a town over 50 miles away. He had a big impact swelling on his nose. He had some scratches too and he was very scared of everything. At that time everyone said I was irrational for keeping him because I was struggling myself. But he obviously went through a lot of hard times and if I took him to a shelter you don't know who he may end up with

[@LandingNow]

I know its "love at first sight" and shit, but honestly if u can't afford a plane ticket, then how are u going to afford taking care of a puppy afterwards? As much as i want the two to be together, i just think that he needs to get his finances planned and prepared before doing anything.

[@waverunner130]

Owning a dog is a big responsibility. I don't deny he has great intentions in wanting to adopt the dog. However, it is a large expense to own one. Shots, and vet visits add up. I have two dogs and if you really want to ensure the dog is in great hands. Then the owner should be equipped to handle vet visits, shots, food potential dietary requirements etc. From an outside perspective, if the owner doesn't have the money to pay for plane tickets he wont have the funds to purchase all the proper equipment needed to own a dog. The way you treat your pet is extremely important, and I don't doubt he would be a great owner. But, what happens if puppy gets an infection or eats something. Not having the funds to take care of those issues will result in putting the animal down or putting it up for adoption again. So although it sounds really sweet, I think he may not have made the best decision in this situation. :(

[@giahutton3293]

monique M exactly what I was thinking

[@bassmaster117]

Yea but as a whole that dog is stuck in a shelter where she is treated as a assembly line and a product

[@oldgregg963]

monique M ive never had a shot cost more than 20 bucks so he can do it buying a plane ticket could cost you around 300 bucks im sorry but u have a false accusation here and getting a dog fixed is not as expensive either if anything its the food that would cost more because dogs eat a lot im sure he will be a great owner
