Had a lab since a pup and recently found a yorkie in traffic. not wanting to risk taking someone elses dog i took it to rspca who sent me on to the local council pound. left the dog there for a week then rang them back to find it was still there. soft touch went down to see it and ended up bringing it home £95 to fetch a dog i took there. she was already coughing which i flagged up and they said probably kennel cough, so best get her to a vet for some anti-biotics. Vet agreed and prescribed meds. Two days later my Lab starts coughing hence another trip to vets. Dogs are great, but as others have said they can cost you and when they are in pain or unwell you WILL pay any amount to ease their pain or suffering. Dogs get under your skin and for many become more important than family or friends. I would never be without a dog again. Go ahead and get one.
