It’s a scene straight out of a drama series: a concerned boyfriend, a sick pup, and a girlfriend at her wits’ end.

As the couple leaves the clinic in silence, we’re left to ponder the complexities of human emotion and the unwritten rules of public decorum. Now, let’s dive into the collective conscience and see what the court of public opinion has to say about this emotional entanglement.
