If circumstances arose, would you leave your dog up on a mountain without arranging for some kind of rescue once you got down?
Well that's exactly what some sicko did. Left the dog up there & didn't go back.

Now the original "owner" wants his dog back?
Do you think the animal control officers should give the dog back? I don't. God forbid should something like that ever happen to me, but you can darned sure bet your life that every person around would be hearing about it over news and radio stations--and I wouldn't shut up until someone helped me get my dog back down.
What's wrong with people these days? Why do people think that pets are so expendable???
