    Not only do they look to swap their dog for a car, came across an ad recently, that stated they needed to re-home their dog, because the kids wanted a pool table instead:mad:

    would you question him if he sold his dog for cash? It's a reasonable thing to do, rather than keep and neglect the dog.

    I certainly do not agree with the OP links but your example seems reasonable enough to me.

    It's not the question of car or cash or pool table, it's the unbelievable attitude that some people have about disposable dogs that is so shocking. How anyone can just decide oh I need a car, lets just swap the dog for one, or the kids whinge that they are bored of the dog 'we want a pool table' and mammy and daddy go 'yes little darlings Il just stick him up on gumtree and Il get you a pool table right away'. Most animal lovers just cannot comprehend that, I certainly can't. :confused:
    In adser's example how someone can say they don't have time for a dog yet they have time to play xbox! :mad:

    I have an akita AND an xbox!! And yet i somehow find time for both.:D
    Gotta agree with adser and zapperzy on this one, dogs aren't things to be swapped about like that. Should have bought himself a teddy rather than the real thing first day
