A dog being burned through to muscle on his sensitive feet had to be panting, drooling, altering his gait, pulling away, trying to edge toward the grass or dirt, lowering his head, yawning to show stress and that owner, not paying attention or worse, making him heel up and walk on, smacks of neglect or abuse! I've heard of being 'tuned out' but this takes the cake and I'm not having a piece!
Hope poor Olaf is recovering and owner spends the rest of sweet Olaf's life making it up to him if the animal control allows Olaf to stay in that ?home?. This makes me sick to my stomach. |
As I was reading the story I said the very same thing, how could the owner not know his dog was suffering, the dog had to have shown signs as you described above. A bunch of BS to avoid being charged with animal cruelty if ya ask me. That poor poor dog.
Last week I had 2 huge oak trees that shaded the back of my house and deck taken down. The limbs were as thick as a tree, they hung over my roof and reason I had them taken down. The next day was very sunny, I couldn't believe how much shade those trees had provided, no more shade, all sun now, I had taken off my shoes and walked in the house, the deck was like an inferno was under it, the next day I bought brown outdoor carpet so Cody could walk on the deck, that heat burned my feet I wasn't going to have Cody's sweet lil pads touch that hot wood.
Then I read this FB story which also sickens me.
If your deck is to hot for your bare feet, it's hotter for your wee lil babies.
