Very sad.
Anyone who has pets can identify with this story.
Simply moving was not an option??
How terribly sad, especially that he was so alone he had no one to help him with this problem. Rest in peace.
Well the dog lovers will be out to get me, but this is just dumb and indicative of the rot in our civilization.
Why does this 47 year old “man” not have a wife and children to anchor him to reality and life?
Why was this adult male unable to effectively problem solve and find a new adoptive home for his dog and/or just find a new place to live if the dog was so important to him?
What, five post already and none of the “Kill ‘em all” Pitbull haters have chimed in yet?
Sad story, guy should have thought and fought harder against the mindless drones.
I would be living under a bridge, wiping my ass with leaves before I gave up my dog for the convenience of my neighbors.
Let a ghost dog haunt all of them, forever.
This is a sad story on many levels.
A sensitive young man says that ‘the dog rescued him’ and clearly was very attached to the animal...a pit bull.
He must have overlooked or denied the fact that pit bulls have the reputation of being aggressive to strangers, children and even their owners - resulting in most people being fearful of them.
Condos and apartments are not good environments for any dogs - because they bark when left alone, smell and sometimes bite.
It is selfish to own a dog in shared buildings as it is selfish to resent those who do own dogs - when the rules allow it.
We often make mistakes in our choices - this tragedy will not change attitudes in the survivors or future dog owners.
Can never understand these selfish people. Find a place for the dog before you end your miserable life, you POS!
As with the other trends in this decline, I’ll just watch the show. Wow. Those of you with any sense remaining, there’s the other, healthier side of it (after repudiation, fall of the insane, contemporary socio-political class, currency adjustment, etc.). Have fun. Enjoy the slide.
not allowed to be left in the apartment alone for more than nine hours.
Sad story but obviously this guy had more than a few problems and should not have even had a dog that he would leave alone for 9 hours or more. The stress on the dog being couped up for hours wouldn’t exactly be beneficial to the emotional or physical health of the dog.
A dog suffers when it has to pee and knows he is not to pee inside. That alone is cruelty. Dogs crave attention and a sense of belonging. There are too many people who selfishly have dogs who shouldn’t.
How terribly sad is this? I hope there are some people searching their souls today about the way they treated the man and his dog.
Really sad.
It was a dog...a dog! Take it to the animal shelter. Besides a dog of that size in a condo?
It may have been posted I haven’t read all the post here but he should have tried a shock collar. Fredd our new dog used to bark I only had to use it a few times, it is a collar that has a high piched squeal and a shock. I don’t even put it on him now just show him the remote.
“Psychic murder,” one writer I recently read said, “is worse than physical murder.”
This was a psychic murder by this man’s fellow human beings.
RIP.
