| This is terrible! :( My friend told me this morning she was listening to new york radio station 92.3 and apparently as a "prank" they tied 50 balloons to a 4 pound dog this morning and it floated away....apparently the dog is STILL floating. This is animal cruelty at its finest and this radio station better be charged! They are calling it a "prank that went too far". So awful...I am in tears for this poor dog. What a terrible human to do this. Here is the story straight from the website. How Many Balloons Could Lift Sarah Lee’s Dog? About 50. Now Can You Help Us Find Her?

| Apparently the girl who owns the dog works at the radio station. Shame on them! That poor dog I sure is tramatized and scared for his life. I am sick to my stomache over this!

| I didn't read the link but if they find the dog alive, I hope they take it away from the owner after charges and find it a real home. If they don't find it, hope they charge her with animal cruelty.

| It is awful that someone would do that to any animal. It just shows they dont have much regard for a living thing

| I completely agree! Apparently the owner is beside herself...please. If you loved and cared for your dog you would have never let that happen. That poor innocent animal is floating around NY scared to death. God forbid something happens and the dog slips out of the ropes tied around it and plunges onto the ground?? This is animal cruelty and they are horrible people for what they did! The owner should be ashamed of herself.

| This DJ and his station have a FB. You can leave them a message there. I noticed that they can also be twittered. Tell them how you feel. |

| I was reading the comments on the link and it was posted that the same radio station did this to a cat in 2009 but it turned out to be a total joke/publicity stunt, there was no cat, I am hoping this is the case again, because it really is sick and abusive if this really happened, Nick Cannon said on his twitter " People are acting like i'm Michael Vick, I apologized now get over it" I think he will lose a lot of fans with this attitude!

| I can only hope that this is a prank. It is too sick and disgusting to think that anyone could be so mean to an animal and put it in harm's way like that. |

| Wow, that's insane. If it's true, helium balloons explode at a height of about 28,000 - 30,000 ft and the dog will fall to its death. The website just seems to lax about it so I'm hoping it's a joke. So sad...

| I think/hope it’s a joke. A sick, sick joke in very poor taste!! Don’t they realize that there are crazy people in this world that will see this and really do it!!? I am disgusted thinking that this could actually happen to a poor helpless creature!! If it’s not a joke, that poor baby will never survive, and I hope everyone involved pays dearly!
