Shing finds a home
Our first dog adoption story arrived yesterday from Faye Ferrer. We would prefer that you and your pet be together at least six months by the time you write us, but we’ll make an exception for our first canine entry.
My son and I just came from watching Watchmen from Gateway. As we were walking towards P. Tuazon we saw a tiny figure with glowing eyes on the side of SM near the motorcycle parking lot. It was a small dog (which looked more like a big rat) sitting, wagging his tail and looking at us intently. We knew at once that this was an abandoned dog: he was very skinny and tied to a post with a nylon cord. The mall security one guard told me that the dog had been there since that morning (we saw him at around 11pm). I left my name and number with the guard in case someone reclaims him. We brought him home even though the cats (five of them) were all hissing and ready to pounce on the poor thing. The following day my sister took the dog home and now he is friends with her other dog. The vet says he is probably less than 3 months old. He’s now two weeks with my sister and her daughters and their dog Kid – Shing has found a home. Right now Shing is undergoing de-worming and anti-mange medication. Shing and Kid get along very well.
Shing gets a gift pack from Purina and the Homeless, Not Worthless campaign.

this just brings me to tears. There should be a penalty for people who abandon dogs. Maybe they should be tied to posts with signs that say “Has Fatal Viral Disease” and wait for someone to take pity on them. Horrid humans.

Totally agree with dandilopez. It is unbelievable how some low-life humans could do such atrocity to helpless animals. In my opinion, people who eat dogs and cats and abandon or maltreat them must suffer the most inhuman forms of torture before being disemboweled. Extreme? Not at all. We all know how barbaric and demonic some Filipinos are when (mal)treating animals. They deserve the same fate, maybe worse. That’s it, I’m volunteering as a PAWS animal care giver as soon as I can. Right now I am happily nourishing a ginger kitten which some creep left on my fence.
