Actually, I do agree that 10 years is excessive. I do believe he abused the puppy but his actions aren’t as egregious as some of the animal abuse stories I’ve heard lately. He doesn’t have the patience or temperament to own a puppy.
As I stated in my original post, I’m just more sensitive about this subject because I have a dog that was abused and neglected by her former owners. Even though I’ve had her for over a year, she still flinches when anyone starts to pet her. It’s sad because she’s as sweet as they come.
I respect you for training service dogs.
I understand your sentiments....
I despise people who willfully abuse animals....
