    This moron of a dog owner, needs to be charged with animal cruelty and neglect - for taking her up the mountain in the first place, using no protection for her paws, and then total abandonment. He should NOT get his dog back, and her rescuers should be allowed to adopt her. Stories (and people) like this, just make me sick!!!!!

    I just heard on GMA Weekend, that the owner has been charged with animal cruelty. Justice prevails for Missy!!!

    As it should be! I would never put my dog(s) in such a situation in the first place!!! He just left her for dead!

    I agree

    I, too, don't think the original owner should get the dog back. He abandoned the dog. I can't believe he has the nerve to ask for the dog. I did read the article.

    Long live Missy, the wonder dog.

    I am glad to read that the owner is being charged with animal cruelty. To keep the dog up there walking to the point that her paws are so cut and raw she can't walk anymore............STUPID!!! He should have recognized her pain early on and turned back sooner so she wouldn't have to be left up there.
    I hope the original two rescuers get to adopt her.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Personally I wouldn't give him the dog back. The dog deserves a family who won't just abandon the dog and won't take it hiking unless they know what their doing and can keep the dog safe and injury free. And what he did is animal cruelty.
