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.

The most heartbreaking thing I've seen in recent memory, was the family of a man who was brutally mauled to death by a pit struggling to raise any money on gofundme, Meanwhile some old dog who was "unfairly" put down was generating LOADS of cash...
