However, people do actually, unfortunately, dispose of their dogs when they become an inconvenience.
In the city that I live, people are exeptionally good with animals -that's my feeling at least.
It's a town consisting traditionaly by workers in naval workshops, and by many means they are different.
First of all they will never ask you from were you are, or what you do, which is quite rare here. They are like if they came out
from an other time -like village people, but without having this bothering curiocity that village people have.
If you take the car and go to similar cities around (industrial zone) you might see pods of dods -apparently once disposed dogs.
But here, nothing, one can rarely meet a lonely dog -and I never met a pod here !
Another thing very impressive, is that you walk in the streets and every twenty meters you see some plate filled with food
that someone has let for the cats : In fact, people here when there are some food left, they don't throw it but they
put it in a plate and let it in the street
