If you're going to get a dog, you should be committed to it for life.
Sometimes I even think that pet owners who abandon their dogs halfway through life are better off hating dogs altogether and never getting one in the first place.
Abandonment is as cruel as giving a dog hope and warmth, only to have it inexplicably taken away overnight.
I recently came across this video and it really brought tears to my eyes.
Hopefully, after watching this video, everyone who has ever thought about abandoning their dog will completely give up the idea.
This dog waited at a certain intersection for more than three thousand days and nights.
It seemed to be looking back and forth at the passing crowd, trying to find a familiar face in the bustling flow.
Occasionally it will leave and catch up with passersby.
It seems like they're trying to confirm if this person is the one they've been waiting for.
However, after repeated disappointments, it always ends up returning to that intersection to continue waiting.
This wait lasted for more than a decade.
The security guard said: "During my five years on the job, I have never heard a dog bark once."
One woman said: "I moved here ten years ago and the dog has been here since then. This dog is older than my children!"
After making inquiries, it was discovered that the dog's owner also lived in this neighborhood.
But later, the owner moved away, and for some unknown reason, the dog was abandoned here.
So the dog waited at the intersection where it had seen its owner for the last time, hoping the owner would come back to take it home.
But as the dog grew older, its physique deteriorated, and its eyesight became blurry, it still couldn't wait for the person in its heart.
Its story touched many residents of the community, and some people even wanted to adopt it.
Although the dog was friendly, no one could ever get him away from the intersection.
On one occasion, the grandmother, who often fed the dog, wanted to take the dog to get a bath.
When I took it to the pet store, it turned around and ran away as soon as I put it on the ground.
Sure enough, its mind was only on that intersection.
It's unclear whether it's an obsession or a fear of missing out on meeting its owner.
Only when he returned to that intersection could he lie down in peace.
To help it fulfill its wish, the volunteers also visited various places hoping to find out about its owner.
Unfortunately, because so much time had passed, all their efforts ultimately came to nothing.
Then one day, everyone noticed that the dog, who was always on time, had stopped appearing at the intersection.
They then discovered that the dog was lying in its bed, looking listless, and they immediately took it to a veterinary hospital.
After a veterinary examination, it was determined that the dog was very old and its organs were gradually aging; it was already quite remarkable that it had lived this long.
It suffers from severe cataracts, and even if its owner appears, it might not recognize them...
Although it cannot see, it still holds fast to its belief for the rest of its days.
Every day, it waits at that familiar intersection for its owner to take it home.
But you, the reader, are probably thinking the same thing as me: the chances of your wish coming true are extremely slim...
Abandoning a dog takes only a second, but it spends its whole life waiting.
Therefore, don't get a dog lightly. Only get a dog when you're sure you can be responsible for its entire life!
