I came by my sweet, amazing, incredible and perfect dog Cinnamon by way of a family that loved her as a cute little puppy but quickly became put-off by her "toddler" "teen-aged" and "adult" size. She was an English Mastiff, and while petite by the standards of her breed, she was 182lbs.
It really burns my a$$ when ANY pet is abandoned. But what really gets to me is the # of larger and giant breeds like Mastiffs that are abandoned when their owners see how big they really are.
DO YOUR RESEARCH is what I want to shout to every person cuddling a cute puppy that will eventually grow to weigh more than its owner.
Cinnamon's former owners had her for 18 months. I had her for 5 beautiful years before she passed away and broke my heart. In her I had a perfect friend, a best friend, a protector, a child. She was gentle and sweet and affectionate. To this day I miss her to the point that I cry when I think of her too much--because I wish so fervrently that she was with me still.
