[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a beautiful dog. She was a plain little brown lump of fur when I adopted her as a puppy and she grew into a gorgeous dog that everyone comments on.

I say "she's a rescue" to pre-empt the constant "What kind of dog is she?" questioning that I get because of her looks. She isn't any kind of dog; she's a mutt. Her genetics testing revealed some lab, some gsd, some aussie cattle dog, some "terrier," and mutt history. That takes forever to explain so I just say "she is a rescue" and that usually nips the conversation I don't have time to have in the bud. [/quote]
Nah you want that halo. “What kind of dog is she?” “A purebred mutt, and she’s the best girl!” says it a lot better than the ego stroking story you tell others and yourself. Oh my god you brought home a puppy and you couldn’t even tell if she was going to be cute? What a mensch, what a blessing! No one ever wants a puppy! And here you rescued a puppy out of the goodness of your heart!!

Yeah, it’s a way to virtue signal. [/quote]

I think everyone who rescues a dog, especially a dog who is senior or disabled to be given a halo.   And also those who foster or raise dogs to be service animals.   What is wrong with acknowledging good deeds?

How does someone else's actions reflect on you?  Is it because. you feel guilty?  I don't judge you so why judge others?  Maybe you should refect on your insecurities and not project onto strangers.[/quote]
