9. If we are going to quibble about what is considered hot in a country where tomorrow will be hot

Apr 4

in some places, can we please not expose frightened rescues to so many sounds, smells, other dogs who are also frightened by crowds, yet are dragged out by people who love their dogs too?
There will be huge dogs who are frightened.
There will be tiny Yorkies who will be frightened. We don’t know what happened to our rescues before we adopted and how they will react to…anything.
Can we love our dogs some other, better way?
