I watched a documentary today, called Mine. It is the story of the animals caught in hurricane katrina. I was a big blubbering mess for the whole hour and 20 minutes. Really, a heartbreaking situation of being forced to abandon your pets, then trying to find them afterwards but being told they were adopted out. I cannot even imagine being told I had to leave the girls behind. I couldn't do it. I'd be trying to stuff them in my luggage or down my shirt.
During the course of our search for a puppy, we've been asked why we want a dog. There was a moment towards the end of the film that really sums it up, for any dog lover. A man, who had been forced to leave his dog behind, said "Dogs remind us that we aren't really alone... that we aren't as independent as we think".
