I personally don't think a dog's life is as valuable as a human's, but that doesn't mean a dog's life doesn't have any value.
this :s
I still love dogs though.
The thing is that dogs don't live for as long as you want them to, and with the pain this one has been through, not saying the dog will die, but it most likely will if something like this happens ever again.
10,000 dollars is a humongous amount of money to pay; what if the dog died anyways?
If your family has loads of money though, I suppose it's okay.
