Thanks. I didn’t see that. That’s especially rough. I hope his son provided an ok to dad.
Nope.
He had no idea that this was even happening.
A woman in the forum, who was a successful show breeder in that area, had contacted the shelter and was picking him up the next morning.
She was going to pay for his medical needs out of her own pocket and do the right thing.
When she got there the next day, to get him, she was told a “Dobe rescue” had come before they opened and literally waited until they unlocked the doors and they took him.
All of us in the forum were gutted because we knew the son would never see the dog, again.
[all of this took about 16 hours, with us watching the posts/developments in real time]
A huge war broke out with sides who wanted the dog reunited with his soldier owner and the other peta-like side, wanting the dog given to “better people”.
There were two tragedies, here.
The first, the dog being dumped and second, the son losing his beloved dog while serving his country.
I left the forum after that.
