Daughter devistated that she's not old enough to volunteer at vets.
I'm gonna be an animal cop some day!
My daughter has loved animals since she was a baby. She will be 15. She called me up on the phone crying hysterically & took a few min. for her to calm down so I could understand her. She came home from school & was so happy to see that the vet called her back. When she called them they asked her age. I felt so bad for her. She was still crying when I got home, a 20 min. drive. She has been trying to find different ways for 2 years now on how she can be around animals. Her goal is to be an animal cop & rescue animals from abusive familys & more. She wants to adopt every pet that she sees that don't have a home. We went to the Humane Society & she is going to start volunteering there Frid. The look on her face was something I will never forget. We will be doing this together. I'm proud of her for her determination. I love the idea that as a teenager, that she wants her mom with her & share in her dreams.

If the vet said, "Volunteers need to be 16," your daughter could have said, "I'm so glad you didn't say 17. You had me worried there for a second."
Technically, it's only a mis-direction or omission, not a flat out lie. And for a passion like hers, sometimes the greater good should win out.
I can just see the mothers of the world shaming me for this. Sorry moms, I couldn't resist.
