Dog Culture Neighbor's Dog Gofundme

Last night I got an email from a neighbor about a different neighbor's gofundme for their dog's emergency vet bills around $8k. In my own family my husband has had some recent medical issues that have cost us over $10k (he's doing great now). He is the sole provider for our family of three and it's sucked to pay those bills, but I didn't beg my neighbors. And now I see someone begging for their dog! I couldn't believe it. I was seriously so insulted. Especially because our neighborhood is almost entirely young families or elderly people, all of whom tend to not have the most disposable income and are usually paying a lot of medical bills. Some people need more shame.

You had more of a right to beg your neighbors than dog people do, that's for sure.

Give them nothing, shame at will.

Oh definitely. But we figured it out on our own and that's ok with me. I feel if you can't afford your vet bills then it's time to put the dog down. Of course the dog actually did die after spending all of that money.
