Thinking of giving a dog as a gift? You might want to think again. Animal shelters say they see an increase in the number of animals given up after the holidays. The holidays are a very busy time and having a pet dog is a big responsibility.
Dogs live 10-15 years or more and adopting a dog is a long-term commitment that needs to taken very seriously. There is a reason why there are so many homeless dogs and it is usually because the owner and dog were mismatched and not because there is something wrong with the dog. Owners often do not realize how much effort is required to having a pet dog and are not meeting their dogs needs so behavior problems may arise. Millions of dogs are killed in Shelters every year. Bringing a dog into a home is a very big decision that should be carefully weighed out.

This is true people do not really stop to think about how geting a dog is a huge responsibility. A dog is not a toy to be played with, learn all you can before getting yourself or your child a dog.
Such a nice thought of giving dog as a gift. It is good to give a dog as a gift to childern because they realised animal love and they also got a good friend
My friend and I were recently discussing about the ubiquitousness of technology in our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets less expensive, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about all the time.
