A dog is part of the family, not a toy.

I get so angry, frustrated, sad and many other feelings when I see all these Pet Rescue-pages on Facebook (mostly dogs). So many cute individuals get abandoned for several reason of which almost everyone is stupid and the owners own fault. It can be allergy (I can understand that one), "aggressivity", the dog is just "too much" to handle, it doesn't obey, there's no time etc...

So many people doesn't think before they go buy an animal. The pups or kittens are really cute, the children are nagging for one, you feel alone. But then what? For me a dog is equal to a child in every way.

• If you're not parenting your children they may be nasty against other children, destroying toys, furniture or other things and they will not respect you. 
• If you doesn't rise your dog it may be aggressive to other dogs and humans, will destroy toys, furniture and it will not see you as it's leader. 
• If you feed your children fast food all the time they might get a lack of nutrients. That leads to sickness and diseases as allergy, obesity, osteoporosis etcetera.  Give them healthy food with a lot of minerals and vitamins in it. 
• If you feed your dog cheap fodder it might happen that your dog will get sick. Fodder-related allergy is very common, and hairloss. The most expensive is not always the best but the important thing is the nutrients. 
• Your kids need school and activities to learn and to be happy. To be "good" citisens and grown ups and be prepared for work. 
• Dogs need obedience-training (school) and playtime to be happy pets. If they don't get these two you may have a dog that disobey and go rioting in your home and everywhere else. 

The list can be longer but I think I've made my point here. A dog is a family member and should be cared of as one. It is not a toy.
