There's a special place in hell for someone who'd TIE A DOG TO A POST in a hurricane! WT actual F?!

Over the year we've adopted 14 dogs others threw away (strays no one was looking for), most recently 3 months ago after a month long attempt to find his family. Looks like they just threw him away. He's an absolute sweetheart. Just now, 3 months later, he's quit cowering with side of head all the way on the floor. Another poor guy who was emaciated and dirty.

Another dozen+ we've fostered until we they were either reunited with their caring families, the others adopted to wonderful forever homes.

There are two kinds of pet owners: dog lovers and dog owners, the latter treating dogs like an accessory instead of a family member.

The good news to come out of this is that all this publicity will land him/her a great family.

I've been a volunteer with a handful of dog rescue orgs for many years. The number of people who just throw their dogs away is staggering. One dog I fostered (we became "foster failures" and adopted her) was dropped off at animal control with the comment "she's too old. We want a new one." She lived with us for 3 years until she passed away and was an absolute sweetheart.

Dogs are NOT accessories. They are much better beings then most people on earth. Getting a dog is a lifetime commitment to care for them as a beloved family member, not an accessory to be neglected or discarded.

Heck, we'd apply if we didn't have one of our adoptees going through chemo for lymphoma and another senior with congestive heart disease. Our new stray>adoptee is young and very playful. He'd be all in on another playmate besides our cat, who adopted us.
