What Kind Of Person Has No Photos Of Her/His Dog?
Or cat?
This is too weird. Four (count 'em, one, two, three, four) times within the past seven days I have seen lost dog posters on which there is no photograph of the animal, or, even worse, a compilation of pictures that may resemble the general appearance of the lost dog.
Honestly, is that the best an animal guardian can do? Photo-shopped pictures cut from a magazine? One lost ad had four pics of four different breeds, with instructions to take the head of dog one, place it on the body of dog two (I guess the dog has no neck) and imagine the legs of dog three and the fur length and "approximate" colour of dog four. Simple. Oh, and if you see this much-missed, well-loved family member, who, by the way, is intact, has neither tattoo nor microchip, is not licensed, and is not wearing a collar or any means of identification, could you please call (###) ###.#### because the woman of the house feels unsafe without him.
Really, who doesn't take pictures of his/her dog? I realize that I'm nuts, and take more photos of my furkids than most people take of their human children, and I don't expect everyone to have a thousand images to sort through, but one or two? One would think that the poor yard dog to which the lost poster above was referring would have accidentally shown up in a photo of a family barbecue, or a trophy shot of the three cars up on blocks on the cement pad.
A lost dog poster without a current picture of the real deal is useless, and further, a photograph may be the only proof of "ownership' if an animal has no identification whatsoever.
One can only hope that dogs with so little value to their "families" find a much softer and safer place to land, and never have to return to homes where they don't even warrant a single, solitary photograph.
Good luck Prince.
