Is the Bay Area's love for their pets a sign that we're moving towards a better society? Where are the limits of our love affair with our furred, feathered and scaled friends. Is $3,000 for Fido's chemotherapy defensible when so many people could be saved with that same money spent on anti-malarial pills or mosquito nets? When we take on the responsibility for the life of a living being, where should we draw the line on what we owe them and how do we know if we've gone too far? It's Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.
