Pity you are so far away. I just heard of a five year old labrador that has been abandoned - very unusual dog, he is a trained and up till recently working sniffer dog. His owner/handler kept him at a kennels, picked him up for work, bought him back - then just stopped coming. When the owner of kennels - in her eighties - contacted him, he said he didnt want the dog any more and she could re-home it. Poor dog is going stir crazy - he is used to being out working. When I think of that poor dog in the kennel, waiting and waiting, I think of the bond between man and dog, between Liam Tasker and his dog Theo, who died of a broken heart at the death of his master - they have feelings, when you work a dog, a bond is built.
The chap who dumped that poor dog, him I would put in the realy ugly category of people. Sadly, there is also a truly hidious group out there, and this chap is merely very ugly by comparison. See Mathilda - you are up the pretty end of the pool.
I guess we are all guilty of judging people sometimes.
