Fortunately, this is not something that we see a lot of. Very rarely do you see a dog in this terrible shape from starvation. People just aren't that cruel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I see someone who is starved, they don't look alert. They don't have boundless energy. If you're too skinny, it looks like you're near death.
People are overweight and starving at the same time. It's a tragedy for both the individual and society.
I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.
Hunger and fear are the only realities in dog life: an empty stomach makes a fierce dog.
I think, if you were being cruel to animals, then the thought of eating them would be horrific.
If we heard that somebody starved to death in Sweden or Switzerland, we would be shocked.
The dog is almost human in its demand for living interest, yet fatally less than human in its inability to foresee.
People get numbed when they see picture after picture, year in and year out, of people starving.
I see dog stories as an antidote to the dire news that nothing is ever going to get better.
Dogs get lost hundreds of times and no one ever notices it or sends an account of it to a scientific magazine.
