sick...sick..sick......sick people. Sadly, as soon as the situation allows, they will probably do this to yet another defenseless animal. (referring to MegansMomma's news posting).

There really should be some sort of government agency that monitors people before they get their 4-legged friends. I know that is an impossibility, due to the sheer population of dogs and cats. But oh..if only.

I pray this poor thing gets a loving home.

In regard to the OP's friend's situation, that dog also deserves a loving home. Judging from the picture, the dog looks to be in good shape and well groomed (but that doesn't tell the whole story, especially if the dog's owners weren't doing everything in their power to get their furkid back). I pray this dog ends up with people who cherish it. I also pray that your friend, and you, recuperate emotionally from this. It can be really hard having this happen on your property and not knowing what to do, or unsure of the right thing to do. No judgments from me, that's for sure.
