it's unbelievable how many pets are just dumped on the side of the road. Most of them die from being hit by cars, disease or being shot. Cruel and heartless.

... at least the previous owners didn't kill the dog.

I worked with a guy in the late-80's who said that he put a bullet in the head of one of his past dogs after it ate another dog turd during a walk in his neighborhood. I was never sure that was true, but he was adamant after I was both shocked and skeptical about it. He said that he was fed up after previously punishing the dog several times to stop doing it.

Nobody, nobody is this dumb. Has to be a prank, doesn't it? Luckily the dog is getting out alive.
