I REFER to the report, "I'm making a huge loss" (The New Paper, 13 Oct).

I just don't understand why people are flaming the man who tried to sell the puppy.

I'm not saying that he's not in the wrong, but what he has done is not so bad as it is made out to be.

At least he is not ill-treating the dog.

He said the dog spoilt his hi-fi wire and broke things in his house.

Apparently, he just didn't expect the dog to 'mess up' his home. And he is selling it to prevent future damage.

He said he wanted to sell the dog at a higher price to recoup the losses the dog had caused.

And he stated the price on the Internet advertisements, which means he was not hiding anything. After that, it's willing seller, willing buyer. If you agree to the price, buy it. If not, the dog stays with him.

It is his choice to have a big price tag for the Great Dane puppy. If nobody is willing to pay it, so be it.

I just don't understand why the netizens are so angry.

If the puppy is not yours and you don't plan to buy it, why be so bothered with the price?

Rare breeds do cost a thousand dollars or more when you buy them from the pet shops.

Please give him a break.

And I hope the puppy will end up in good hands.
