“Is Love Worth Sacrificing Loyalty? The Shocking Incident That Made Me Question My Relationship!”
In fact, in some places, shelters and pet owners are legally required to spay and neuter their animals. But another important reason why we should keep our pets from having babies is because there are simply too many animals waiting around in shelters already.
The ASPCA reports that each year, about 3.1 million dogs and 3.2 million cats enter animal shelters in the United States. And sadly, 920,000 of these potential pets are euthanized every year to make room for others.
There’s absolutely no need for your dog to have a litter of puppies when you could simply head to your local shelter if you’re looking to welcome more dogs into your family. Plus, if you end up selling or giving away your pet’s babies, there’s no guarantee that they won’t end up in a shelter at some point too. By choosing to spay and neuter your furry friends, you could be saving multiple lives.
Honesty is a necessary component of any healthy relationship
Part of the problem in this particular story, however, is that the man was completely dishonest with his girlfriend. He concealed the truth about going behind her back to breed her dog and went against her express wishes to have her dog spayed. It’s not easy to come back from dishonesty like that in a relationship.
According to Verywell Mind, deception can take a huge toll on a relationship, as it erodes trust, diminishes compassion and empathy, decreases intimacy and often leads to more lies and manipulation in the future.
Honesty is the foundation for any healthy relationship, and staying with a partner who lies to you only opens up the door for it to happen again. While I’m sure it was not an easy choice for this woman to decide to leave her partner, many readers assured her that she and her dog will be better off without him.
