Bad animal owners

Tweet

One day last week I got a text from my stepson. This in itself was a very unusual occurrence. He saw a dog get hit by a car and stopped to help it. He happened to know which house it came from, as he had seen it outside previously with the owner as it happened only 3 blocks from our house. He knocked on the door and the guy who answered could have cared less. He said that he had just woken up and he would take care of the dog "later". J told him that the dog couldn't wait until later. An older couple, think grandparents, had also stopped. They agreed with J that the pup needed medical attention now. J told the guy that if he wasn't going to take the pup to the hospital right away, he would. The guy got really defensive and said "don't tell me what to do with my own d**n animal!" J just turned around and started towards his car still holding the animal. The guy tried to stop him. J again asked if he was going to take him to the hospital right away. He said no, because it would cost him money. J again started towards his car. The guy yelled that he would call the cops about him taking his animal. The grandpa man told J to just go and take the pup to the vet. Grandma whipped out her cell and called the cops while J left. J gave his number to them in case the cops had questions and then left. Well, about an hour later he texted me that the pup had died at the vet hospital pretty much in his arms. Later, the cops called and J told them the whole story. He is not in any trouble. But neither is the pet owner. Some people shouldn't be allowed to own pets.
