I have lived a long time and have never seen anything like I saw today at the Vet's office. I have a cat getting fluids for failed kidneys and I take the cat to the Vet 3 times a week.
As the cat was in the back being treated, a white Ford SUV pulled up with a young couple in it. I just happened to be standing by the glass door waiting. The young female opens the door and looks down. All of a sudden a Golden Lab puppy comes running to the door I am standing at. The puppy then goes and runs under the SUV. I then noticed that both persons in the SUV were staring straight at me. We watched each other for what seemed like a long time. Neither of them got out of the SUV.
I told the office staff that I felt something suspicious was going on out in the parking lot. All this time the puppy is still under the SUV and the young couple is still staring at me. One of the office staff then went outside. As she went outside the young man got out and started to get the puppy. To me it was clear that they were trying to dump the puppy off at the Vet's and did not count on being seen. I even wonder now if they would have driven over the puppy.
The office staff talked to the young man and he just said everything was okay. From where I was you could tell they were both very nervous. The young man managed to get the pupply out from under the SUV and they made a hasty retreat from the parking lot. The office staff stated that the young man said the puppy just got out of the SUV. She did manage to get the license number of the SUV. The police were contacted but as we all know - nothing will be done or can be done.
What is tragic is the way this young couple attempted to get rid of the puppy. Of course, I don't really know what was happening, they could have stolen someone's puppy for all I know. Whatever the situation, their decision making process was really screwed up. If it was really their puppy, they could have taken it to the SPCA or local animal shelter and surrendered it - no questions asked. In our area, most of the animals do find a good home. However, their decision was just to drop it off at the Vet's without even going in. What I fear is since they were seen, they may now just drop the puppy off who knows where.
It never ceases to amaze me just how evil people can be. This is just a puppy that someone now does not want, but, they cannot even attempt to do the right thing. Oh I know - look at what man is doing to man all over the world right now and even in this country. For those of you that do not think Judeo-Christian values are important, ponder this post and just watch the local news. We all need to consider what we believe about God and our need for a Savior. Only through Christ will your heart be right.
