Oh I must have worded that weird...I did go outside, I just didn't go right up to the dog. I just didn't get any closer then 5 feet to him.

Ugh but guess what I found out today?? My mom went out to check the mail.....and there's the SAME dog...across the street.

I guess he was laying in the grass twitching and panting again. Apparently he was one of my neighbors dogs. I thought it was possible that it was their dog, but I hadn't seen him in ages, and didn't think he was still around. Plus the other neighbors that came up to street to gawk swore up and down to the cop that it wasn't those neighbors dog.

I guess the dog wasn't put to sleep, they just tossed him in the pound. The owners got him out, didn't take him to a vet, just took him back to the house.....poor dog...wandered off again. He's suffering so badly.
