Animal abusers are disgusting. People who neglect animals are idiots who should just not get them in the first place. We ended up with a dog (shih tzu) because my cousin didn't have time or the patience to take care of it. Loser.
I don't like dogs as much as cats, but if I do ever get a dog it'd be a German Shepherd or a Labrador. Probably a mixed breed that resembles them though xD I don't have room for big dogs though, and little dogs are meh.
We got our German Shepherd, Daisy 6 years ago. Her owner was medically discharged unexpectedly from the army, and had to move. the poor guy was only a Private, and couldn't afford the flight for two dogs out of Alaska. My friend called me, knowing we had been looking for one (it was her big German line shepherd that convinved me, before that I swre I'd never have a GSD because of the hip problems). The shelter dog we were looking at fell through the next day, and we took Daisy in.
Our second dog was supposed to be a small one. However, when we moved to Washington in 2007, we stayed with a friend. Due to friend turning into a complete douche and telling his girlfriend he was divorced, but telling the ex he didn't WANT divorced, and the two meeting, we ended up moving to a hotel. The ex decided he couldn't see his kid without the court approving the house, where MY kids were sleeping on air mattresses at the time. I wasn't risking myself getting in any contact with child services. When we got housing on base, we went to get our stuff, and found him dead, he overdosed on his pain meds. His ex wife couldn't handle the dog...so we kind of inherited him. Shepherd/Malamute mix. NOT SMALL!!...lol But he's turned into an awesome dog for us.
