I don't understand why you are taking one side of the story, printed in the paper, and taking it as gospel truth. You have no idea if it is true or not. The case hasn't gone to trial to hear both sides. It may not have happened like it was "alleged" at all. Nobody has all the facts in this case, so you are basing your judgement on the accusations printed in the paper about one side of the story. There are ALWAYS two sides, and as of right now, nobody except those involved know exactly what happened to that dog. I am not saying it did or did not happen like they claim, I don't know and neither do you. So making a snap judgement like that is unfair to the side not heard from.

And comparing working a dog on a treadmill to tying it to the back of a truck is just silly.
