Otherwise he should have done what you, the kind and thoughtful owners of the dog, had decided. I believe he is very wrong and unprofessional to take Bull home with him.
I apologize in advance.

Are you serious? You would rather that the dog DIE than be taken care of? Who are any of you to demand that the vet offer free services? And where in any of this was it stated that the clinic workers got anything for free? It seems like many of you have just assumed that and ran with it.

I realize this is a tough choice, as a pet owner myself, and as someone who is getting rather creative with money in order to achieve some goals. However. When faced with the option of ending your pet's life versus letting someone pay for and care for your beloved dog, I think the second option is infinitely better. In both cases, you no longer have your dog. The difference? In the second case, your dog has another shot at life. And, it sounds like the clinic workers are caring people who would probably let Sandra see Bull. Please don't heap abuse on the vet- he or she is doing their job. And, vets have to eat too- and pay student loans back!
