Being the wrong colour to match a sofa and even having eyes "like David Bowie" rank among some of the excuses given by dog owners for abandoning their pets, according to a leading animal charity.
Here is the top 10 list of most irresponsible reasons for abandoning a dog:
:: "My dog doesn't match the sofa."Link [via]
:: "The dog looks evil and has different coloured eyes, just like David Bowie."
:: "My black dog doesn't match new white carpet, can we swap him for a white dog?"
:: "My current dog is too old, can we swap for a puppy or younger model?"
:: "My dog ate the Christmas turkey cooling on the worktop."
:: "My pet guinea pig got worried with a dog in the house."
:: "The dog opened all the presents on Christmas Eve."
:: An owner who accidentally knelt in dog mess while cleaning it up brought the dog in the very next day.
:: A puppy bought as a present for elderly couple with dementia.
:: The negative image of Staffordshire Bull Terriers because of their perceived resemblance to Pit Bull-style dogs.
