It's A Dog's Life For Dogs and People Alike

Look at that mangy, bleeding dog on the corner. There's another one outside the supermarket. In fact, Montevideo is teeming with stray four-footed friends. Weird people have even gone so far as to throw puppies into the rubbish containers, where they will most certainly die of starvation and hypothermia, if there is no one around to rescue them. Do they really deserve such a dog's life? Your dog will always love you whether you are rich or poor, he will always be glad to see you even though you are in a bad mood, or ill, disabled. No matter what race, creed or inclination, you dog will always stand by you, defend and protect you and just keep you company. So next time you see that mangy dog on the corner, perhaps you could give it something to eat, or and old cardbox box and discarded jumper, so he won't freeze to death. You may criticise me for putting dogs above people - but people have more possibilities, except abandoned and homeless children, of course. If you have any canine tales to tell, I would be most interested to read them.
