Puppy stuff

WHen I was a kid, we had a breeder dog.   She was called Princess.

One day, my Dad came to me, real angry.   Someone had put a rubber band around a puppy's foot.   I had not done it.   Don't know who did.

I have thought, why do such a thing?

I realized today, that if the puppy could not be sold, we would keep it.
That is the reason why it was done.
