They were laughing because it was funny to them to watch cars in 6 lanes of traffic swirve and stop trying not to hit this tiny 2# puppy. My husband drove off because he was afraid that I would get out of the truck and he would have to bail me out of jail or pay for someones hospital bill,,,not mine. |
I would have grabbed that dog and no one would have seen it again until they paid the fine to the shelter I turned it over to. There are laws where I live about letting your dog run unrestrained, unlicensed and without a rabies tag. There is a fine for every offence and it gets higher with every repeat offence. You have every right to turn an unattended dog over to authorities. I will defend any good pet owner to the last degree of my ability but I will also do whatever I can to stop abuse and ignorance. Check the laws in your area and you and your husband will not be so concerned about defending a dog that is being abused.
