some people sure dont have the "I know how bad you feel" attitude towards their pets. In the position you work, it is hard to say anything unless they are really beating the dog. you complain to him about his treatment of the dog, then he complains to manager (about you) for your treatment of him. sounds like that man needs obedience training him self. |
I understand where you're coming from, but The look on the dogs face said it all. It wasen't like a little tap on the butt with your shoe, it was a small forceful kick. and it was done repeatedly. In my book that would be considered abuse, and it should have not been permitted. It made not only him look like an a$$ but it also embarrassed the dog and infuriated customers who had witnessed it. I'm sure that had he said anything to my manager, that whoever had witnessed it would vouch that what I did, they themselves too would have done. But with the store being as busy as it was I chose to not say anything to him in hopes I wouldn't need to wait on him agian. This being said, it may make me sound snooty(which I am certainly not) but I don't know how much longer I would have been able to keep my cool had he actually hit or done any further abuse to the poor thing. It makes me wonder how they treat their loved ones if they treat their pets that way and in public.
