My heart was broken on a daily basis when I worked at a doggy day care earlier this year. Yuppies would come and drop their dogs off early in the morning and pick them up when we closed at 8 p.m. They were immediately shunted off in cages and constantly told to sit and be quiet. When I did dog walking, I would go to these people's houses to get the dog and they would be sitting there watching tv or entertaining friends. They hired me not because they wanted the dog to be walked and played with while they were at work, but because they didn't want to deal with a pet that did more than look adorable. I felt so bad for those dogs, they had everything except love.
