I have an Aunt who has money up the whazoo and has always had a dog from a second hand home. All of her dogs have eaten the crappiest food (whatever was on sale) table scraps and were let outside loose and free to roam and hardly ever went to the vet. She always had owned male dogs and never neutered them. My uncle who is a cop and helped trained police dogs had always done training with his own and they were incredibly great dogs and lived many years usually in there teens. Needless to say that they weren't the best dog owners and we live in the city not country so letting there dog roam was not the smartest decision. So here is people who have money and can give the best care possible and they give there dogs minimal care. I have known more people with less money in there pocket who go above and beyond to care for there pets. I have also seen alot of poor street people around Boston who have there beloved 4 legged friends walking the streets with them. Who am I to say that someone less fortunate than I can't enjoy the love and companionship of a dog. If I lived on the streets I would have a dog to. Something to protect me and keep me warm at night and love me even though I am poor and have very little to offer. I have witnessed some of them feeding there dogs before they feed themselves. To me its not about money, but having the love of a dog can make you the richest person in the world.
