So he wasn't able to do what he was learning to do, but instead of dragging him to the quarry, they adopted him instead? Xavier Breath Jun 18 #8

through Helping Paws. But Gilbert was thought to be too friendly to be a service dog, so the Hortman's adopted him. They had previously raised a service dog through the same org. Devastating for the survivors.

Not the first rwnj dog killer, won't be the last.

I say heaven because all the sweetness and light will blow his mind. If he does reform then there's nothing to worry about. If he doesn't reform then He continue to feel very out of place and uncomfortable. It's like Hell in Heaven.

Other than he would not call Walz because it would waste time.

He didn't call it wrong.

He didn't condemn the act.

He offered no condolences.

It was all about him.

Motherfucker.

That must have been an added agony on top of the horror of the murders.
