Most families do not consider that question when they purchase their new pet. It is very easy to go the pet store or shelter and fall in love with a puppy’s adorable face. Their big wanting eyes and wagging tails draw you in without any evidence of their history or how they got to where they are.
Ain’t Nothin’ but a Pound Dog I had been looking for a dog to be my companion. I was only in second grade and I had never had a dog before.
