Say..what do you think about a person who has trouble walking because bad knees decides to buy a dog and pushes walking and house training the dog onto unsuspecting another person for free?

That's hard to say. As somebody who has bad knees (and feet, and ankles) and who also owns a dog, I can sympathise to a large extend. A dog is wonderful company and can be a real boon to somebody who is housebound through disability.

That being said, I walk (or limp, or hobble) my dog most mornings in a bushland setting where many local people go with their dogs. A few of those are also walking their neighbours' dogs simply because they love dogs and it gives them a chance to be out there.

Your problem appears to be centered on two words "for free". Not everybody needs to be paid in order to do a favour for a person in need. You may be correct in thinking that you're being taken-advantage of; on the other hand, you may perhaps need to look at your own attitude and wonder if it may be just a little bit mean.

Think about it.

Well i have bad knees bad back i train motormouth kitty to bite everyone but me but so far she just bites me

Dear Anon,

In a community, people look out for each other. If someone needs help, they might not even need to ask, much less "push it off" on someone, because a neighbor would see the need and offer.

And pets do help us with good health, longevity, tremendous emotional support.

So if the person with the pet has funds, maybe the unsuspecting one could just ask for a financial arrangement. Or, help figure out a give-and-take arrangement where the ill person can get the help, and keep the pet.

The "unsuspecting person" can say "No" if they feel they're being taking advantage of.
