The Mia Foundation

[Concerned Citizen]

I know very well what I am talking about. Did you ever meet Mia personally (mainly directed at the people posting from Florida, Georgia and Tennessee)? You can watch videos of her playing and see a little dog having fun but what you don’t see is her severely malnourished little body in an oxygen cage stretching her neck upward desperate to breathe, or her meal time that consisted of her owner squirting liquid nutrition through a tube inserted into her stomach. I love animals, but part of loving them is knowing when to let go. I don't discriminate against Mia because she was different, I empathize with her. In her short life she underwent multiple surgical procedures, endured long hospital stays, and spent numerous nights away from her family. She was happy because she didn't know any better; she never experienced a "normal" dogs life. Her owners knew what she was missing and although they went to great lengths to give her a good life, they went too far. It is hard to know when to stop, after how many procedures, and how much money spent, but there has to be a stopping point. This is my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there is no need to call others "pathetic" or “scum”. I am far from unemployed nor do I spend all my time on the computer looking for negativity. I am simply a concerned citizen that wants people to look at all aspects of the situation before donating money to a foundation that, in my opinion, let a dog suffer for too long.

Mia lived a good life and did not suffer. I am disgusted at these comments. I have just seen them. If you don't know what the real story is about or even about the people, shut up. Make no comment unless you know. Eddy and "the man" whomever you call yourselves are a waste of space. Mia represents a miracle and love. Go away bad people.

Sorry to tell you but I met Mia personally and EVERYTHING you describe is just so false. Unless you were there and actually saw the real thing... you have no room to judge anyone. I pray to God that someday someone close to you doesn't have to be "PUT DOWN"

That is the stupidest statement I have ever seen from a woman's mouth... And yes, The Mia Foudation is nothing more than a business you fools, Get a life and try to support real causes and not the personal financial interests of the Rogers!
