The Lexington puppy theft

[JHB4UK]

So many questions on the actions of these 2

Why the elaborate stealing of a free animal?
Why does the girl dress like a banana?
Did this animal swallow some of your meth?

But then the biggest question to the Lex Humane Society:

Someone wanted an animal in your shelter and took it off your hands....isnt that a good day for you? One less mouth to feed?

I've had dogs all my life. I love dogs. I think they're great and I treat them well (don't kennel, they stay inside, multiple walks per day). But it seems like the last few years, people have gone overboard on trying to treat dogs as well as humans.

Here's a good litmus test: If your dog dies, if you are bummed out for more than a few days you need to seek professional help. It's a flipping animal, people.

So as for this story, the OP is dead on. The dog is gone was technically adopted. End of story.

I agree that at least someone has 'adopted' the dog, but .....

1. It has some medicine (not meth) that it needs.
2. They look like tweakers
3. If you don't have $50 to adopt a dog, then you don't need a dog.
4. They're probably trading the damn thing for more meth.
5. WhoTF steals a dog?
6. That must be the world's quietest and calmest puppy to not be noticed.

Your dogs probably suck if you only got bummed for a couple days after they died...or better yet, you probably suck.

To the story: they are probably concerned because they have no idea who the people are and whether they will harm the puppy. Think about it: someone messed up enough to steal a puppy from a free adoption clinic is probably messed up enough to do stupid things to the pup/

Puppy theft, has a new Korean eatery come to town?

Ha! Enough people recognized the thieves, and they brought him back to avoid facing charges.

 

[Beavis606]

Everything ended well and Dougan got called out for being a POS. Great thread.

Ok, Thompson was found.

1. Thompson is not a dog name.
2. Police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts said police investigators had no solid leads, but they worked very hard tracking down several tips.

Our society is T-totally-F'd. So much stupid here.

No, I have real sh!t going on in my life and I realize that dogs are dogs. Be torn up the day the dog dies, be sad for a day or two after that. But some of you clowns think that dogs are children. You are flipping losers.

Was the puppy thief an old skinny woman with black and white hair? If so, she probably jsut wants the dog for its fur.

Sam Kinison was ahead of his time on this. He could probably do an entire show on people and their pets today. (NSFW, or home, or anywhere else people are around)

BUT there's always a positive side...

Thompson had a hell of a day, or two. He basically broke out from doggy prison with the help of his humans.They thew Thompson over the fence and took him to the free world. That's crazy.

OR..more likely, imo

Lil Thompson was turned into a drug mule puppy and now he's inside slangin' that puppy chow, yaheard!

I guess I'm a loser, but I can live with that. Some people, though, aren't fortunate enough to be able to have children and some people have been unfortunate enough to have adoption attempts turn into dumpster fires. So, some of us treat our pets like family members and donate some of our free time to help homeless animals.

The rescue had to obviously be concerned that someone that they had no knowledge of took the animal. They didn't know if they were responsible, they didn't know if the animal would be given vet care, etc.

But do they really do a close psychological profiling of those who show up to take stray animals they are taking care of off their hands? seems counterproductive to make that process difficult.

Wayne Dougan is a sociopath, interesting.

Plenty of people, with children, are completely gutted when a beloved longtime dog dies.

An animal that you've shared a house and bonded with over 10-15 years is only supposed to make you "sad" for "a couple days"?

Sociopath.

Yeah dude. It's a pet. How do you handle it, take bereavement leave or something?

I have empathy for people in Lexie's Dad's situation. But I still think people need to rationalize the difference between a pet and a dog. For example, I had a great dog that I got in college. He got sick when he was 9 and I spent 1K plus trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Finally found out it was lymphoma. Vet said it's either chemo - which will run $5K and it's still less than 50-50 - or some medication to make the last few months of his life a little better.

I would have loved to give my dog a fighting chance. But I could not justify spending $5K on a dog that could go to my kid's college fund. We put him down when he could no longer eat and seemed to be in pain - a very difficult thing to do - but you better believe by day 3 I was on with the rest of my life.

Ha ha ha @ Wayne.

"It's only a small human being, It prolly hasn't lived long enough to enjoy life anyway" as Wayne is kicking a 10 yr old in the ribs.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Wayne is a poor.

You should do enough to be confident that the person who is adopting the animal won't abuse it and will give it proper care. Some groups go overboard. Some don't do enough. It's tough. In general, most rescue folks with good sense simply say, "Would I trust these people with my pet?"

 

[I need this]

Really bad take by Wayne.

What is life without a dog?

Dogs have been with humans domesticated for close to 100,000 years. New research into how dogs react to us is that they have mastered the art of reading faces plus medically their is so much research in their ability to detect cancer even before it shows itself through MRI and I just read that now they have been found to produce anttibodies that cures infant ashemia one of the causes of crib death.

Goldfish and birds are just pets but dogs are special. Just my opinion

 

[funKYcat75]

I fall somewhere in between Wayne and the rest of you. When we lost our dogs (one put down and one by natural causes) I was a mess for a couple of days. However, I still think about them and get all misty when I see a picture of them. I'm also with him that I'm not dropping big dollars to save a pet that is realistically only living a short time longer anyway.

I think the kind of dog you have is a big difference. We had two dachshunds which were more like little toys that we like to play with. If it had been a big fuzzy dog that jumps up next to you on the couch and that goes on hiking excursions or works with oh on a farm, it would be a lot different. I loves those little things, though.
