I totally agree. The only circumstance where I might offer is if I knew for a fact that the cost might be extremely difficult for the family . Or of course if I was at fault!
I guarantee these people already feel bad for the hardship of @conmama ’s emotions after today’s incident!
When my brother’s dogs were hit by a car (dogs escaped from a fenced backyard, got onto the highway; one was killed, the other hit in the back legs), my mother made chicken soup for the dog. Just like with a human, it made him drink more.
That dog lived another 10 years or so. He always had issues with his back legs (didn’t like to sit, couldn’t do stairs) but otherwise recovered.
I still miss him.
Update on dog: The femur was forced back into the joint. No surgery needed. Probs my just a month long recovery. I’m so relieved.
Still make him the chicken soup (with owner’s permission!)
