I didn't want to say anything before now, but since we are on the subject of Maverick and neglect, I will post it anyway.

A few months back, my sister was outside with Maverick and he was NOT on a leash. She was taking him to potty and I guess her phone rang, or she thought of something else she thought was more important than keeping her eye on the dog... Well, Maverick ran off and ended up getting hit by a car. Apparently she was inside or just not watching him long enough for him to run down the road, and onto one of the side roads down from her house. It's not a short distance either from her house to where I'm talking about.
His lungs were collapsed and he bit his tongue so bad that they first thought that he bit part of it off. He was thrown in to the ditch on the side of the road that had water in it after the rain, and his lungs had water in them from that.
He's fine now but he had to stay at the vets office for a little over a week. And, if I remember correctly, they didn't bring the dog to the emergency vet, they waited until the next morning before they brought him in.
If that doesn't prove it right there that they shouldn't own a dog, I don't know what does.
