Babies and Dogs

Babies and Dogs.
There was in England a fire in a dogs home most of the mutes 
were rescued, but money was needed for a new kennel home.
So far 5 million pounds have been collected. I like animals had
 a dog she lived till she was fourteen, my best friend and it knew 
my moods before I did.  Yet I can’t help thinking there are so 
many destitute children in the world, in some places they starve 
to death, as we have seen on TV.  But it appears we will not think 
of that.  To be sorry for a homeless puppy is less taxing, easier to 
cope with and less demanding. All we have to do is to let a dog  
never grow out of puppyhood and needing us forever.
A sweet baby, on the other hand, has the irritating tendency to
grow up and become a sullen adolescence.
