Having a pet is the most amazing thing ever but you should also take care of them so they do not feel neglected. All a pet wants is love, care and attention. Nothing more than that! A mother shared with the Reddit community that her oldest son always wanted a dog so they adopted a family dog but the oldest one didn’t take care of the dog. He lost interest in the dog, Gizmo. He wouldn’t take care of him and wouldn’t walk or feed him.
