In WWI it was a pit bull that became a hero (and a Sargent!).
I have not, and will not look at what sounds like a very disturbing video. I am of the belief that an animal can be "put down" by the owner if done for a good reason, humanely and with respect. (Although personally we have our vet do it.) It sounds like this was cruel, drunken sport, and hopefully they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Yet in WW2, damn near every surviving dog made it home.
Many, like the Dobew, volunteered by the families of the DPCA, returned to their owners and the others, went home with their soldiers.
A shame upon the nation, was VN.
The troops came home to abuse and the dogs came home, not at all.
Thankfully, military dogs are now receiving the honor they so richly deserve.
I will never watch that video.
It would gut me, to see the trust in the dog’s eyes.
It was cruel, drunken, sadistic revenge, aimed at the dog’s real owner, her soon to be ex.
I imagine I do not have to really describe what would happen, were someone to do that my dogs.
