At least they didn't just put the dog out by the roadside to be hit by a car. Or dropped off in the wilderness to be eaten by a predator. I agree these people shouldn't have another pet; at least the dog is safe though.

Absolutely! Before I adopted him my GSD had been abandoned on the Indian Reservation with no food or water in the Arizona desert in the summer! Took the rescue group several days to get him to come to them. It was obvious he'd been dumped and not an escapee because they could still see the marks from where he'd worn a collar.

Thanks for the rescue. I agree with you. Look at the Ole fellow thread, Richard found pups that had been thrown away like garbage. Just don't know what goes through people's minds.

I also realize in the scheme of life this is insignificant compared to what people do to other people let alone pets. I guess what made me angry was the callousness of them wanting to exchange the dog like a DVD rental.
