There are some things about the mongrel that I really like. They look tough and they are always happy and active. In fact, from what I understand is that they are indeed tougher in terms of health wise. They are easier to maintain as a pet as well. But sad to say not every Singaporean thinks so.
Many individual still look at them as "stray dogs", "cheap dogs" or unwanted dogs. Just because they are not pedigree they are being look down as a lower life form?
If you are a real dog/animal lover, you have to believe that every animal is equal. (Fine, before you guys come and bite me and complain about how I am eating cow, pigs, chicken cause they are animals too. I say I love them too. Just differently. #SelfTrollFirst.)
Anyway, my wife and I are believer of adoption cause we know and we have seen how breeder take cares of those breeding dogs. Their living condition and the amount of lives they have sacrificed just to bring you one cute little puppy. So where did we get Brover from? Brover was actually rescued by a guy name Clifford and Brover's "ownership" was actually under this organization call the "Save our street dogs" aka SOSD.
As much as we wished to be a volunteer to be at the shelter to help out and what not, we do have too much on our plate to commit. Thus, I am helping out in alternate ways! (Like getting you guys to do it. :D )
You can do your part too!
