Who's a good boy?

What have we become?
Not only our generation
but mankind in general...or the
superior species.
I saw a friend the other day and stopped to say hello.
He told me he was on his way to visit his Mother. He placed her in an old age home, some time ago for reason of convenience. When I first spotted him he was picking up after his dog and putting the bag of shit into his pocket. Folks there is no way I would put a bag of shit in my pocket! Not even if it were my own! Let alone dogshit!?! Anyways, he was picking up after his dog and I stopped to say hey, How's it going,  how's your Mother?
Not bad, she's fine, but my poor old Brutus here, he's got a sore,  you know, don'tcha boy...who's a good boy, and it hurts when he goes, but I got this cream I put on and he's seems to be getting a whole lot better.
I laughed, Well that's good, glad to hear, I said, Give my love and best wishes to your Mom... and went on my way.
Huh!? Like WTF you put your Mother in a home but are willing to rub cream on your dog's ass every time he shits... God forbid your Mother should need you!
I don't know why people are the way they are anymore and I'm not sure I have the time to figure them out anymore either!
Sometimes I just don't understand people at all.
But holy shit folks wake the hell up I hope you never need someone like your
Mother or Father, Sister or Brother, Grandmother or Grandfather to talk to,
to count on, someone to help you when you are unable to help yourself.
Don't take me wrong I love animals too but holy shit, I love my family members more.
My dog never changed my diaper or fed me but my Mother did, my Grandmother did. I can have a sick pet put down and be very upset as I have done in the past. But when it comes to a Grandmother, Grandfather,
Mother, Father, Sister, Brother come on folks that's a whole world of different feelings.
I would use all my abilities to help in whatever way I could to help a family member or friend and even a stranger for that matter. I am not taking away from a pet relationship but the loss of a family member or close friend is truly
the ultimate pain.
They say that killers, especially the cold or serial killer type, begin by practicing, torturing and killing animals. If this is true what do people who treat animals or pets better than there own flesh and blood become?
