this show be to be commend for address real issue and the dedicated aspca worker and officer who rescue these animal . some of the situation witness on this program be upsetting and but a one officer mention and it help her to tell herself that they be make a difference and one animal at a time and and the animal can not speak for themselves . there be outright case of abuse and but it be also hard to believe people may be unaware they be abuse an animal while for example if they be elderly and and have too many dog in the apartment . the officer educate the person and the audience about what be best for the dog and or cat . sometimes people can not afford medical care and but that doesn not mean they should abandon the dog in the street . call the aspca and they will help . everyone should watch this show . this series be one ( rare ) example where reality tv have do some good . it be not mindless game and or meaningless competition set out to degrade the participant . it also educate those in the audience who may be consider buy a cat or dog and and not aware of the responsibility . especially in the city and care for a dog be a major commitment . dog be like child and and need attention and love . they should never be chain outside a junkyard and or anywhere . thanks to the creator of this show for present a viewpoint in defense of animal . positive .
