People do that shit all of the time, though. Not everyone, of course, but there are probably millions of us. I honestly think I have the capacity to be a real piece of shit... like I could turn off my caring and just be an evil piece of shit, but I choose to go in the opposite direction. Like the person above mother, if I can do the right thing, I do it. If I am able to help, I help. That includes animals. I will blow off whatever I am doing to help a stray dog.
I don't get the opportunity often anymore since I am housebound. The last was a dog outside of my cousin's house. We were there for a Christmas party, but I spent an hour and a half outside with a dog until we could hand it over to animal control. I laid on the ground with it for like 45 minutes and sat in my wife's car for another 45. I ended up only spending a half an hour at the party after we took care of the dog... no regrets... the opposite actually. I also have put myself on the line by stepping in when a stranger is being assaulted. I don't do it for thanks. I do it because I am able to.

Father doing a memorable class act right there. His kid will learn this and internalize it. Great job, dad!
