This kinda makes me mad. I'm so happy for this precious pup (if you are subscribed to the video service, he is SOOOO SWEET!!!). But why is it that only after a failed attempt are dogs given the chance to live????? GRRRRRRRRRR!!! I just feel so upset!!! I can't even start to imagine how much he must have suffered while in there. :(

I hope Quentin gets a life of love & comfort for the rest of
his days on earth. :) I too wish there could be more spared
as he was. Maybe his story will inspire some people to visit
their local shelter and check out the many great dogs & cats
available for adoption.

Awww, lucky Quentin! He was wagging his tail! How can they gas a friendly dog?!!??? :mad:

I have a question though. Do those gas chambers cause brain damage/health problems?

Simple: too many friendly dogs, not enough friendly people to take them home. It isn't the shelter's fault, they do what they can.

Good for Quentin, may he have a long and happy life ...

But, how many other times has this happened, a miracle of sorts, and the personnel have just re-gassed the animal? He is doubly lucky. He survived, and the employee concerned could not bring themself to re-gas him!

Poor lil buggers, the ones who don't make it.

I agree.

We as humans are the superior race or so we think, and make all the decisions, we decide to end these poor creatures lives, What give's us this right?

Yes I know, we have to do something, but we always think we know best, infact human beings are so cruel sometimes, and DUMB too, just vetting my anger at this unkind world folks.

But YAHOO for Quentin, you lil survivor you;)
