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 think you are missing the point. As humans we have a responsibility to care for all creatures. Some people spend quality time saving dogs, some raise money for cancer, some build schools in 3rd world countries. Some teach adults to read, and some spend time reading to the elderly. There are people who spend their lives trying to save animals from going extinct. We should commend anyone who will spend their time and efforts helping make this world a better place. Perhaps instead of complaining that there are more deserving children, you could step away from your keyboard and make THAT your cause. Spend your efforts doing something good for this world, instead of trying to control what good others try to do
