With people returning to office work, what's happening with all those pets acquired during the pandemic?
This dog is loved and has a home. But others like him are being tossed aside.In the early morning hours of Somewhere City, America, a dog hears the car keys jangle and wags its tail in anticipation of visiting its canine playmates. The hopeful pup spins, circles and barks with excitement before jumping into the back seat of the SUV.
With security cameras, doorbell videos, and dash cams almost ubiquitous, stories like these have been captured time and time again with heart-wrenching headlines: “Man caught dumping dog,” and “Abandoned dog chases owner’s car” and “Man charged with animal cruelty.”The fact is, people give up animals on a whim.
We checked in with Eddie Miranda, senior public information office for Harris County Public Health, who tells us that Harris County Pets is currently housing two or three dogs per kennel because of overcrowding. As an open intake municipal animal shelter, they are required to accept every animal that comes through their doors.
For all of these reasons, and more, it is a terrible idea to gift somebody else with a pet. There is too much responsibility and not everybody is willing to honor the privilege of pet ownership.
