It&#8217;s a great commentary on some of the frustrations I feel working in rescue. I post a 9 year old dog (great mellow older girl!) to have comments along the lines of &#8216;Who could dump a dog after 9 years of love?&#8217; &#8211; not focussed on finding her a great new home.\u00a0While this article doesn&#8217;t go into it, I also get\u00a0frustrated where people describe\u00a0behaviours from their pet and conclude that this is because of abuse or neglect (hot tip: it&#8217;s probably lack of socialisation).
