When it comes to animals Western culture is basically different from ours - we keep a clear demarcation between animals and human beings - If we allowed so called "pet animals" into our homes as westeners do - given our climates etc, I think we will have children and even adults suffering and dying from diseases and viruses that are brought by these animals into our liviing areas and kitchen especially. During hot weather I think our homes will be quite unbearable if we shared it with dogs and cats - water is often scarce that it is barely enough to bath human beings. Food priority is humans first and animals last if there is enough to go around. It is not an understatement if I said looking after animals is a very, very expensive necessity sometimes - to some, as in watchdogs in the compound and cats as mouse traps in the house at night. We are often accused of cruelty to animals - but we cannot help it. A dog that is born in Fiji is considered the unluckiest dog in the world, unless it is born in the home of an American, an Australian or a British expatriate who will be able to buy lamb shanks and meat dust for the family dog. Mind you at the same time, many not so fortunate families will be having boiled spinach, or a slice of bread no spread and water or tea if there is any left between pay days. I come from a fairly well off family but we just have enough with which to live, supplemented from vegetables we and family circles members plant and share just for the sake of sharing. WE accept these as our lot

Interesting. Thanks for the different perspective. You're helping to make my world a little bit bigger.
These dogs were born with a congenital defect that left them without front legs.It happens.
How come they are all handicapped? If it is genetic, the breeder should be deregistered, for breeding the wrong bloodlines.
Love dog's!! One of the last true, honest, animal's on this planet that you can trust.
I'd adopt one in a heartbeat!
