$1.5 million paid for world's most expensive dog: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42128943/ns/today-today_pets_and_animals/
My favorite part: "Raised on a diet of beef, chicken, abalone and sea cucumber, 'he is a perfect specimen.'"
Is it ever okay to pay this much for a dog - even an adorable fluffy "perfect specimen?"

Omg no!
Don't get me wrong, I love love love dogs, but a) that money could have been put to much better use and b) there are so many lovely, wonderful dogs out there without a home that are FREE to adopt! Instead of spending our money on "the perfect specimen" of a dog, why don't we focus our attention on the less than "perfect" but equally lovable dogs that aren't receiving such special treatment.

Plus, who's ever heard of feeding abalone and sea cucumber to a dog??? Maybe we should take some foie gras or oysters down to the local shelter . . . ridiculous!
I will admit that I sometimes feed my dogs chicken and rice, but that's good for them and not extravagant.
@Sarah S.: I completely agree with you. Have you ever tried to volunteer for a local shelter? The ones around my house are actually really hard to volunteer for. They require a certain number of house that I just can't commit to with a full-time job and a family.
