Okay, several things come to mind as I read through this post:
1. Anonymous could have had his/her heart in the right place about your dog being cared for--but afraid to approach you directly. I agree this is a chicken way to handle the concern, but let's give this person the benefit of the doubt about the concern for Cooper.
2. Your note is very good, and I think gives everyone the information they need---you may find your neighbors reaching out to you and Cooper now that they know his heartbreaking story.
3. The treatment Cooper received before you rescued him makes me furious, and I keep thinking THIS is the kind of treatment dogs in puppy mills get....and these are the kinds of dogs that are parenting those "bargain" puppies people get. Poor guy, if he could have gotten it up he'd still be in that cage.
My 2 cents. |
