Feeling of Helplessness

The springer spaniel on the upper-left corner is a rescued dog called Jack.

He was abused and had been shut in a small room by his owner and had never gone for walk until he was rescued.


Jack is a calm and friendly dog. We hoped that these coming years would be happy ones for him.

However, I heard very bad news today that he is going to be put down tomorrow morning because he bit his new owner badly.


I want people to think about the reason why he bit his owner--not the fact that he did it. I still think he does not deserve to be put down. I keep thinking that if I would have fostered and rehabilitated him, I could have saved his life. But I am not capable of handling three dogs that have behavioral problems. Even if I want to save him, I am not able to. I feel helpless.

I just hope he had good walks and had a good time with us during the one and half months after he was rescued.

I’m sorry, Jack.
