I had spinal surgery about a year and a half ago and as lucky as I was to have pretty decent insurance it still cost me a LOT of money, I mean a lot....I'm still paying the bills.
Had I not had insurance and resources to pay I'd currently be in worse shape than that dog.
My point here, is don't lose track of the reality that in the long run, people are more important than animals, specially children. Don't forget them when you get all misty over an emaciated canine.

I had major back surgery 3 months ago that cost $250k. That was just one of many surgeries. I can take care of myself. I know there are horrible things that happen all over the world. I can't save everyone and everything. If I come on here and say I am saving cancer, someone would bitch that aids is better. If I come on here and say I am saving the homeless, someone would say children are better. Instead of bitching about someone helping one situation why don't you get off your ass and try to help the cause you feel is important!
No hard feelings though, just don't say I am losing track of reality. I am planning on having a child in about 3 to 4 years and when I do, I am adopting a child as well. So I can do many things at once. I have always done that and I always will.
