Hi Gary,

I love that story, Petso, I'm sure he would get a good laugh from it, knowing how true and how ridiculous our society is becoming. Young ones today think nothing of paying $2 to $3000 dollars for a designer dog that is full of inherent health problems from a puppy farm that treats the animal like shit.
They then spend the next 5 or 6 years tripping to the vet for some poor mutt with hip dysplasia that will have an early demise due to being inbred. Along the way it will cost an enormous amount of money, keeping some vet in clover with their favourite hobby.

Petso, who reference is made to above, is a country vet dealing primarily with farm animals. The writer of this response is an Australian reader.
