(AP) -- An elderly Oklahoma man landed himself in jail after using bolt cutters to break his prized pooch from the pound.
Instead of paying a $100 fine for not having his poodle on a leash, 73-year-old Edwin Fry of Hydro decided to bust Buddy Tough out. Authorities say Fry drove his lawnmower to the city pound Oct. 13 and broke into the cage with bolt cutters. The pair were intercepted by police.

Gonna read the whole story and brb.
Knowing from experience, this will hasten the old man’s death.
Anyone that has a beloved dog knows of what I speak.
May the same end come to the people who did this.
Curse them!
Ok.
A) shouldn’t have burglarized the pound.
B) Shouldn’t have eunthanize the dog with 90 days or so.
Something else is going on and it stinks.
That IS ridiculous. On what grounds did they kill the dog?
It’s not as if the man was going to “PRISON” for a year or more. Even then, they could just put the dog in the pound and let him be adopted out. To think he was killed while the man was just put in jail (not prison) is beyond reasonable. I don’t see any good reason to kill the dog, unless after so long no one adopted him (standard OP for a shelter).
Wow~ a mad rabid calf kitten puppy killing poodle .... worse than a flock of foaming at the mouth pit bulls .....
Yeah, I consider personal responsibility to involve dealing with the situation to my satisfaction. That means, not screwing people over.
Of course, perhaps personal responsibility in your case means calling the police to resolve a dispute.
So you have this old guy, who cannot restrain his dog. The dog becomes a ward of the state, and everyone else pays for his care. (And the probability of the dog being adopted-out is probably around 10-15%). So the dog gets euthanized anyway, but only after being mistreated even further.
The dog was a public nuisance, if the news reports are correct. Dance around it, if you wish.
Now wait a minute. If you cannot restrain your dogs, I will kill them without compunction.
So, you and nobody else has enough heart to buy this poor old man a leash for his dog.
Right?
And because you and this poor old man’s neighbors have no heart, no one will have any heart for you, or his neighbors.
Ar his age...if it were me..I’d get mine.
Somehow, I think you would have had a future with the SS.
Born out of time and place, son...
ROTFLMAO. Send this story to Kathleen Parker at the Post!
So, you’re a fiscal conservative, BUT not a social conservative.
I will remember that when you face the Ozombie death panels.
Dayum, I give you reality . . . and you go full Godwin on me? Jeepers.
Just sayin'....where's your heart?
In any case, I don't need your "social" approval to rescue animals. And if you want to direct your efforts toward "no kill" shelters, have fun with the libs you meet.
My heart was hardened by the obvious attempt of the writer to take advantage of it . . . just sayin’.
