Molly,

I too am amazed at the stupidity of some people.Even when
the woman had an option to turn the dog over to a rescue
group, she chose to have him put to death.

My only consolation is to imagine these two souls(man & dog)
arriving at the throne of the creator of all living things. God
asks the man, "Son, how did you come to be here?", just as
the dog's soul/spirit is being escourted unquestioned by God
onto the Rainbow Bridge to heaven. Can you imagine how this
guy could explain himself to his maker? The man had free will,
the poor animal did not. R.I.P. dear pup.
