Microchipping?? There r plenty of other problems they should be tackling first like puppy farms, proper punishment animal cruelty like jail terms. There r no laws for animal welfare, this country makes me sick. And if someone is going to kick there dog out onto the streets, like half the country seem to be doing, their hardly going to hav bothered getting their dog microchipped.

She looks healthy enough to me.. I’d say she’s still a pup and pups often look boney because their limbs are growing so quickly!

Still, I’d say you’re right that she was abandoned by some moron. I hope the little mite finds a good home.

If you cant afford to microchip the dog then you shouldn’t own a dog. If a €30 chip is too much what about feeding and vaccinations? Those are needed annually. What happens if the dog gets sick or injured? Vet bills will be massively higher than the price of a chip. Dogs are amazing animals and I’m a big dog fan. But they require work and they do cost money to look after. All these things need to be seriously considered before getting a dog.

On another note there are hundreds of dogs badly in need of loving homes in shelters all around the country. The dogs in these shelters are for the most part already chipped and neutered before you take them home. Surely thats a better option than a new pup that needs all these things if you’re concerned about the cost of looking after a dog.

“Why do people think it’s ok to let their dogs roam free?”

Maybe the dog was kept in a closed backyard and an errant delivery man left the gate ajar.

You don’t know.

Ah Damocles – it was a cheeky headline. I doubt Irish Rail will be fining this dog for travelling sans ticket… :)

I wouldn’t put it past them ;)
