I was in my 20s when I learned that juveniles in the City of Detroit routinely stole pet dogs from people’s backyards and other places. Some sold as bait for training attack dogs in dogfighting gambling and others sold to labs. Really high value pure breeds sold to new owners.

Gut churning.

Across the street from where I parked at Wayne State University to go to class in the late 1960s was a long building. I learned later that inside was a track complex with rails. The auto industry would strap dogs onto sleds and make videos and later autopsies as they tested the effects of various seat belts and the crush strength front ends of cars.

I grew up with dogs-German Shepards, and loved every one of them. I love all dogs and cats. For the last 25 years we have been cat owners, and I’ve loved every one of them.

So my sympathy goes to Guo, who I’m sure is angry and heartbroken to learn what happened to his beloved companion. I really do feel for the guy….
