It's hard to put a value on an animal's life. My wife says since we have pets, it's our responsibility to make sure they get the care they need. However, when our cat was ill a few weeks ago and I took him to the vet, we feared the worse and I asked her if it was going to cost a lot of money should I have him put down. She said absolutely not. Then I said, what if it's $1500? She paused and then left the decision up to me. I can guarantee you if it was our dog and the bill would be $1500, she's getting what she needs.
