Maybe if they have been ill-treated one way or another all their life, they don't know any better. Yet in the right hands, they still trust us.
I shall never understand.
If people don't want an animal, or don't like them, just don't have one in the first place.
Surely thats simple enough?
Yes, you would think so. But life isn't always like that. The initial in this thread is but one example, a horrid one at that. And I'm sure you, and others, have heard of similar.
One that sticks in my mind and was close to home. I came across a guy who was walking his dog on our usual route. His dog had large areas with no skin. I asked. His wife (ex?) had deliberately scalded the poor dog. Badly.
As you rightly commented, that dog still trusted his master.
