I met someone who was telling me they just put their dog down. I
sympathetically asked if the dog was old and very sick. She said "no,
he was a 2 year old lab, but he was just too energetic. The vet said
it was more humane than taking him to a shelter"!!!!!! I had seen this
dog, as they live around the block from me. She admitted he wasn't mean
or anything, just too "common", i.e. a lab can't get adopted around here,
I guess. It made me sick - heck, I would have taken the dog to keep it
from death. She told me her boy was upset. Duh! I admit I kind of
wondered about that vet!
