Worst Story
|
Oh man I took one look at the headline and the picture and couldn't even read it. :(

I've never understood why a dog's life is more important than a human's? There have been many U.S. troops killed here at home, several by a deranged Muslim Dr. The dog story is sad but far from the worst story.
Of course that's my opinion. |

That's sad. It happens all the time. The past two years have been worse for shelters, as more and more families give up the pet because they can't feed it. There are not alot of homes and pets are pretty disposable in the US. They are euthanized.
The solution is to microchip your pet. Every dog I've ever bred, and sold to others, has a microchip that comes back to me. Period. I had a woman bring a little Chihuahua into a clinic where I was doing relief work once a few years back - she had two kids, this adorable little dog she said she "just found a couple days ago at X location", had just bought the dog tons of dog clothes and toys - and she said no, she hadn't bothered to look for it's owner, nor called the shelter saying she found it. I scanned it, it had a microchip, I told the woman it had a microchip and that proved ownership, I called the microchip agency, they gave me the owners telephone, and the owner and the police were there in 20 minutes. The dog was missing out of their well-fenced backyard in 10 minutes of time 4 weeks ago. |

I'm jealous, as you can have 5-6 of those little suckers for one 90-pounder :D |

I don't see a contradiction here. Both situations are sad. |
They fired the person who did this.

I will say this about the story. Living in the state that it happened in gives us the whole story. This dog had no chip in it and no dog collar. As a dog owner,4 of them, i have collars on them and they are all chipped by their vet. I also have the back gates closed and locked. The guy had done none of this and he had the dog for many years. Its a terrible story for all concerned, but the owner must take some responsibility. |

I don't know how the dog got loose or why she wasn't wearing a collar, but I doubt it would have made any difference. The shelter worker was intent on putting that dog down due to wrong paperwork. The dog was there less than two days when she was euthanized. |

Microchip your dog.
Collar/tag your dog. As soon as the dog is missing call local animal control and/or police immediately. Go to the shelter first thing the next morning and look at each dog yourself - do not call as ask if they "picked up a border collie" Go to the shelter daily to look for your dog. Quote:
(and yes, I think this is a horrible story and the shelter was wrong) |
