I'm just going to start this off by saying I love dogs. I got my first dog, Toby, when I was nine years old, and he was the absolute love of my life. While I wish with all my heart that I could see his scruffy face again, I am at peace with letting him rest. He had a tough life before we adopted him, and although I wonder what he would be like if he hadn't been neglected for seven years, I wouldn't want to play God and see that for myself. Unfortunately, not everybody is as ethical and financially responsible as I am because one couple recently went viral over the custody battle of the clone of their rescue dog. You heard that right. They already decided that she should keep the original dog, but her ex argues that they should each get one dog after their separation. Thank God we normal people will never have to deal with problems like this.
