The first time this was posted about the dog, the sheriff was deciding whether or not to charge the owner for cruelty. So, he did according to this report. Good.
I’ll say what I did before. He thought his dog was dead so it is to him. He has a dead dog and the rescurers have a living dog.
My Yorkie is a 4 lb. living dog and I wouldn’t leave her anywhere to die. She depends on me for her safety and I will keep her safe no matter what I have to do.
