    Once I asked someone why they chose to alter their dog for cosmetics (cropping and docking). They responded, "Life is too short to live with an ugly dog." I don't particularly agree but there you have it... You have a right to crop (or dock) your own dog as you please.

    Okay well that's stupid lol well for me it is, at least I have a reason for why I would do it. If you think a dog is ugly why get that dog lol I think all dogs are beautiful! Well I take that back cuz I personally don't like chinese crested. That's just my personal opinion some one else could think they are the best and most good looking dogs of all time lol just not in my taste. And I also like DOGS! not canine accessories (tiny toy teacups things lol) I like 'em big so I can play with them and walk them and stuff :)

    If you admit it's super risky to put a dog under I still don't get why you'd risk losing your pet, but each to their own I guess.

    I disagree with putting dog's lives at risk for cosmetic purposes. Enough said.

    That makes me so sad for their dog.

    Wow. That's incredibly pathetic.

    The poor dog was probably thinking "life is too short to live with an ugly, dead beat master"...
