this evening i was reading my aol news, and started to read an article about an elderly couple who had 800 small dogs in their triple wide mobile home. 800 dogs! wow thats a crapload of dogs. i watch animal cops on the animal planet, and seen people who hoard about 40 dogs, but 800! how can someone do that? i feel so bad for these dogs and their horrable living conditions. what do you think? think you could manage 800 dogs?

Oh,I think I cant imagine that.It will cost most of their energy to look after all the dogs. I shoule prepare food for them and clean their house.Besides, I think I dont own enough room for them.Just two or three dogs are ok.

i have two very small dogs and they take out all my energy. i couldn't imagine having all those dogs. i read in the article that the elderly couple didn't clean the house or anything. gross.

When Paris Hilton announced that she owns 17 dogs, authorities were alarmed, only to find that they are with their animal handlers, but to learn that this couple actually have 800 on a mobile home? Wow. That's a lot!

I read that it they lived in a mobile home and that the couple were breeding small dogs to sell! It must have smelled awful in that small house! A person who was buying one of the dogs seems to have reported the conditions to the local authorities! It is too bad that the elderly couple could not own a farm, where the dogs could run free and it would be legal, at least they could legally own some dogs to breed, but I am not sure how many are legal in that county!

There must be something wrong, it was a mobile home and there is hardly enough room for people in mobile home homes, let alone 800 small dogs!

Eight hundred dogs oh my phew!! that must have been one really smelly mobile home. No I could not handle that many dogs in a lifetime. poor dogs and what about the elderly couple were they senile or what to do something that horrible again I say poor little dogs they did not deserve that at all.

I can't believe it.It must be a hard job to manage 800 dogs.As for me, I don't have the ability to manage so many dogs.It's my nightmare although I like dogs very much.
