I’m glad that someone cares about animals as much as I do. One of my friends saw a dog with a wonky tail for sale at a market. She and her friends decided to report the seller to the RSPCA.
The RSPCA asked her to keep an eye on it. She went back to the market about a week later and the dog was gone.
Speaking of abused animals, my ex-colleague told me his neighbour has moved and taken her hungry cat with her. He told me he was glad to see her go, as the cat had become troublesome, miaowing outside his door until ten o’clock each night. Despite me encouraging him to report her to the RSPCA I don’t think anything was done.
I wonder what happened to the cat and the dog, just as I wonder what happened to a stray dog I used to feed when I was little.
I was out playing one day when I found a stray dog hanging around our house. I gave it some food and water. Soon I would find the dog outside my house everyday, waiting for me. This continued until the dog tried to stand on its hind legs and put its front paws on my shoulders. This terrified me as on its hind legs, the dog was much taller than me.
I asked my neighbour - who had his own dog - for advice and he told me the dog was only trying to be friendly but if it bothered me he would take care of it. By this stage, I was really scared of the dog so I accepted his offer. I never saw the dog again and I wish I had asked my neighbour what he had done.
