“If this dog’s owner had chosen to put it out of its misery in a humane way, he would’ve been within his rights, as well as kinder to the animal.”
Let me see if I’ve got this right...you think the original owner should have bashed the dog’s head in with a rock. Correct?
The other men went back the next morning. He could have done the same but did not. As one who has been owned by four beloved dogs over my life time, I cannot even imagine leaving that beautiful dog without knowing his fate and trying to save him. God Bless the men who cared enough to do what needed to be done.
