Keeping a dog is a commitment

My parents have 2 dogs. They are such loyal friends and companions! Whenever I am home, they would sit by me (while I am typing this, one of them is only 1 foot away from me). After my aunt died, I was sad and I cried. The dog came to me and licked the tears on my cheek. He could not speak, but he brought so much comfort to me.

Dogs are such loyal companions!

Unfortunately, stray dogs and stray puppies are everywhere in my city!

Before getting a dog, please do remember that it is a commitment – – – as long as your dog shall live. No doubt, there are a lot of hard work involved in caring for a pet. But this is not an excuse to abandon the pet dog in the street and let it survive on its own. There are too many people abandoning their dogs when they are unwell or old. Some owners even abandoned their dogs once they are bored with them. 
If you are a dog owner, it is your responsibility to spay your dog so that it will not produce litters after litters of puppies!
If you have been wanting to have a dog, do consider rescuing or adopting a stray dog instead of buying from breeders or pet shops.
