Exactly my thoughts Patty. I work at the SPCA & see all of the wonderful dogs who slip through the cracks while people try and rehabilitate a dog who is just not right.

Elisabeth---I have never seen an image like that & think that it will be a wake-up call to a lot of people. I'm glad that this thread was stickied. Thank you for sharing your experience with us all.
