The Sad, Sad Story of Lily the Pug
October 29th 2007 21:10
There’s an old lady called Mabel who walks her black pug, Lily, every day near my place.
Whenever she meets someone who is interested in her dog, she will tell them about how she came to own Lily: she was walking in a field one day when she found the pug with all its teeth knocked out and her puppies killed. Shocked by the brutality, she decided then and there to adopt the pug.
Mabel says she has to be careful what she feeds Lily, since she can only ear mushy foods.
When I look at how cute and gentle and harmless Mabel’s pug is, I cannot believe someone could be so cruel. If the previous owner didn’t want puppies, why didn’t he/she get it neutered? And if the previous owner was too lazy or tight to do that, why didn’t he/she try to give the puppies away or even leave them at the local animal shelter or vet? And why was Lily’s teeth knocked out? Was this the previous owner’s idea of entertainment or did someone else coming across the abandoned pug and puppies decide it would be fun to harm her and kill the puppies? The senseless brutality saddens me. On the other hand, I am touched by Mabel’s kindness in adopting a poor little dog that could have otherwise would have died alone and childless on the field.

I'm a pug lover so I agree with your sentiments. Lily is very healthy looking, just like the one in the photo. I love to pat her whenever I run into her.

Since I don't own a pug, I don't know. Sorry.

Forgive my ignorance but what on earth are "hugs"?
