That was REALLY so sweet of you. You are a great person. This reminds me of something that happened to me last year. My sister and were walking home and saw a little bird... must have fallen out of the nest because it had no feathers, eyes closed, etc. So we called the vet and he told us what to feed it if we wanted to try and make him live, we named him monster (he looked like a little monster). After about three weeks of nursing him to health (he was growing feathers and seemed to be doing great) we came home to find him gasping for breath. As we were walking to the car to bring him to the vet he died. We were distraught.
As for the animal care and control, I volunteer there in NYC and have been volunteering at places like this since a kid. The tears are a regular thing... and I refuse to even know about the euthanizing. I just go to play with the dogs, socialize them, exercise them and give them a nice break from the cages. I also do the events, adoptions, etc. I think if the tears ever stop, that means you have become numb- I don't ever see that happening to me.
I don't want to depress anyone with some of the stories with people dropping their pets off- you all know how it is... it's a shame.
