[quote=Anonymous]Aw, I'm so glad that you rescued this dog and gave her a chance to rest and be loved, OP.

I work with a cat rescue, and it's terrible that we have cats who are old or just not as pretty, and no one wants them or will give them a chance.  It's always the cute kittens or the pedigree cats who get picked first, and the elderly cat who is missing an eye and half a tail, or the cat who has bald patches from burns that will never heal are just left.  You can see that some people look at them and feel bad, and are conflicted, but they end up going for the cuter pet anyway. So thank you for giving this girl a chance.  Cats and dogs used for breeding generally don't have happy or healthy lives, so your dog is so lucky to end up with you.  She will love you so much.

The thing that people don't get about the "body shaming" of the dog is that, while the dog doesn't care, the fact is that so many people really care about how their pet looks, as if the pet is a flash car or a designer bag, and that pets with physical/cosmetic issues are often overlooked because of this.  And people are shallow, even when they don't want to be.  This kind of attitude, of just making comments about how a pet looks, is why people who are on the fence about maybe giving an older or less pretty pet a chance will falter in the end.

You are a good person, OP.[/quote]
