Throwaway Dogs
The throwaway dogs. That’s what I’m gonna start calling the rescue dogs that come in because I believe when I say throw away it seems to get everybody’s attention a little bit more, when someone says rescue dog, they just feel sorry for the dog which isn’t helping anybody especially the dog.
