Oh, don't even get me started What TOTALLY confounds me is WHY such people would ever want to have a dog to begin with??? They don't seem to enjoy him and the poor dog lives a life of mere survival and isolation. GRRRRRRRR!!! Thank you SO much for giving him a little respite from his misery. As far as I am concerned, that is animal abuse. Any dog that is left outside for hours, in the elements, without water, is being abused. He drank HOW MUCH water??? My same old lament.......where is animal control???
