I hesitate to post this right after the attack on the dog in Philly, but unfortunately it seems that there has been an extreme case of animal neglect as well. This was on the news yesterday. A woman, also in Philly, left her six dogs in her home with no air conditioning and no food for weeks. The dogs were found yesterday. I will be waiting to hear her explanation when she is found.
