My grandmother was a nurse at a mental hospital here in Alabama and she knew a patient who drowned his dog of 10 years in the sink because he thought it was trying to talk him into killing his roommate. Obviously, the guy was a serious paranoid schizophrenic, and like this woman, his family was appalled that he did that to a pet he had practically grown up with.
I feel for this dog, but if the woman really
does have a serious mental illness, I feel for her too, and I don't think any of us is really qualified to condemn her, as horrific as this act was.
Because if she really is sick, one day she will be medicated and lucid, she will finally understand what she did to her dog, a creature which loved and trusted her, and she will feel the most overwhelming grief and regret anyone could ever feel for a fallen friend...
RIP Bobo.
Poor thing.
