Not at all. It's great that you will go the extra mile for an animal in need. Sadly, there are too many people who will just walk by without a second glance because it's "just" an animal. Here, seeing a dog without an owner is like seeing a toddler walking without a parent. It just looks alarmingly out of place and it immediately draws attention.

Am very proud of the Dutch stance on animal rights. We do take it very seriously here. We actually have a seated political party called the Partij voor de Dieren (Party for the Animals) in parliament that mainly advocates animal rights and welfare. It's just ingrained in the culture.
