When a national rescue society calls you for a support of an abandoned canine, consider yourself lucky to have found a new foster dog. Whether he looks like a gem or some normal dog, he is yours and yours alone for care. Like any other loving parent, you are now assigned to a special task ahead.
Once you agree to the dog on your protection, you will turn out to be the one and only special person to the dog. Part of the foster stay will be dealt with by teaching him, training him and in particular loving the pet like your own. However, time will pass when the dog needs to be reassigned to another permanent owner; and your tears might just come welling in your eyes if the ideal family comes along.
Care for dogs is measured not only by the tasks you do for the little pooch. Rather, it’s measured through the amount of time you give to the dog; it is also about taking care of him whether he is or is not your own. But before thinking of saying goodbye to your “adopted” canine, remember that you have a heap of responsibilities on hand. You are now facing a new life with an additional member of the family.
