Why because the troops knowingly joined the marines to protect us, while the dog did nothing knowingly and was put down like a human fetus?

This is not a debate Dell...I think the story is awful for lots of reasons. That was my title.

it's awful I will agree but far from the worst. The Jewish reporter who had his head cut off on tape comes to mind. Not to mention the 4 securuty guards hung off and burned to death hanging off a bridge. In the big scheme of things this dog didn't mean shiat! But again 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.

Sounds like one of the dozen a trainer I know has in Louisville.

Please. Those dogs are officially cool

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

He looked like a statue with pigeons on him when eating.
