(52,561 posts)I have very poor health and I know that if I adopted one it would outlive me. My other 2 dogs, especially my last one, were extremely attached to me and I couldn't hurt a dog emotionally. I know it would harm them as much as a child losing a parent. I chose this path for the past 2 1/2 years and have remained certain that this is best. I am leaving 3/4 of my assets and estate (whatever remains if the SCOTUS overturns the ACA...they could still do this) to the Morris Animal Refuge in Phila (the oldest animal refuge in the US and I was a foster parent while in college) and the San Diego Humane Society (who allowed me to adopt my own puppy after volunteering until I had my own place to live). I LOVE dogs!!! Unconditional love is only one of the reasons why I believe they are far better than humans.
