I feel your pain Keria
. Those words are same as mine when i look around and talk with me in my mind. I have five dogs and i treat them as family... every one of them has a story about how we got them, every one of them has been hurt one way or another. They sleep in the house, the big ones in living room... not outside... not in cages... they don't even have a collar / leash. And there are a few more on the street that come to our gate to eat. I love all animals... and when a hourse is beaten or a dog tortured, it hurts me more than when humans kill each other.
