Appreciation or Expensive????

Polly spent the last few days as an observer in an animal clinic. This was one of the more interesting "human" stories that the veterinarian related to her:

One day, she was performing a delivery for an expecting dog when suddenly, the dog went into labour distress as she was about to give birth to her last puppy of the litter. The vet immediately performed an emergency caesarian in order to save both puppy and mother. The procedure was successful and all the dogs were safe and well.

When the owner returned to collect her dogs, she was presented with the bill and she exclaimed, "Wah, why so expensive!" She even commented that had she known the cost involved, she would have bought another new dog instead of having the vet save her pet!

Throughout all this, there only criticism, angst and unhappiness expressed over the bill and not a word of thanks for the efforts put in by the vet.
