If it was legal, I would go around shooting everyone who is mean to animals. Expecially, little helpless ones. (Figure of speech...I really wouldn't shoot them!)
A week ago, Hubby and I were heading to town for something. We got on out dirt road and when we rounded the corner, there it was. A cute, very small chihuahua just sitting there in the middle. I picked it up and noticed right away that it was infested with fleas. Well, we did the town thing, with the chihuahua with us and went I got home, I gave her a flea bath. I search for the owner, but found noone. The next day, I took her to the animal shelter to see if anyone reported a missing dog and she said no. I went ahead and had her "dipped" for fleas, ticks and mites.
It has been over a week now and noone has come to claim her so chances are, she was a dumped dog. The shame of some people. Expecially since we are dipping into the 30's at night night. Would she have been able to survive by herself?
After taking her to the vet, we have discovered that she has red mange and a yeast infection on the skin. That explains the hair loss and stink. LOL All in all, she is a great, sweet dog and we have decided to keep her.
I just thought I would share that story and vent about the crap people put animals through.
