Meet Yong and Jessica

[Minimalist]

Remember to speak to them in Spanish.  They won't understand English.

I tried Korean on Yong when I saw him at the vet.  I don't know what Korean for "go fuck yourself" is but he didn't sit.  He did sit when his foster took out a dog treat.  That language they all know.

I know vegans think it's hypocritical, but I couldn't imagine eating a dog. It's weird because I really like cows and still eat steak.

Good on you for rescuing those beauties. I can't believe there are actual standards in the dog meat trade. Let's give all the dogs in the meat trade a slight heartworm infection.

It's a generational thing.  The younger people do not go for it.  I understand that Taiwan has recently banned the practice. 

There are no slight heartworm infections.  Its really a case of the cure being almost worse than the disease.  Once the baby worms (microfilaria) are dead the injected medication kills the adult worms.  However, the reason for keeping them quiet is that if the dead worms break loose before the white blood cells have a chance to absorb them they can cause pulmonary embolisms and the dog keels over dead.  This would be a bad outcome.
