Mongrels are lovable too

My friend told me that a family she knew wanted to adopt a dog. When they asked about adopting a pet they were told that there were lots of mongrels available but they were not interested as they preferred a pedigree dog.

This is a general preference in Hong Kong. Most people like dogs that are cute and pure-bred. I think it's ridiculous to judge a dog from its appearance.

I had a mongrel as a pet when I was young. She was clever and faithful, sometimes she was tender and meek.

I think mongrels are as good as pedigree dogs.
