Tornado dog crawls home on 2 broken legs

I'm kind of hoping that, with this story picking up so many readers, somebody will cut the humans enough slack that they can keep him after all.

So mote it be.

Love, Columbine

Amazing story and sad as well. I feel like you all do. I'd never give up on my dog (or any pet).

When I worked in the city, a man who became homeless stayed with his dogs. He'd only ask for handouts for his dogs, who were social, friendly, and looked in good shape, considering the situation.

I recently read an article which I can't find now about homeless people keeping their dogs with them even after losing everything else. There are now veterinary clinics springing up specifically for homeless people's dogs, so people can still spay/neuter, vaccinate, and have injuries looked after. The article mentioned that some homeless women are adopting large dogs - not as begging props, but as protectors.

I have a hard time with people adopting cats and dogs just as window-dressing ("I'M HUNGRY AND SO IS MY DOG") but I figure no decent shelter would hold with that anyway, and they're mostly hooking up with strays.

Love, Columbine

That's the kind of news that makes me feel fantastic, I was devastated reading that the owners were giving up the poor dog. I would live anywhere and do without but no way could I ever abandon my fur friends...they mean as much to me as life itself. I was hoping someoone would come forward and help once the story broke. Makes my day, such a cute little fellow too.
