If I believed in such things, I'd hope those people rot in hell.

I read a similar story awhile ago about a dog that people kept seeing beside the road in the same spot for a week. The, "owners," had dumped him there, and he was waiting for them to come back for him. Same fate--may they rot in hell.

Its been proven over and over again: Humans don't deserve dogs.

I have had German shepherds my whole life. They are such wonderful dogs. My last dog Martha passed away in February. Due to my age I have made the difficult decision not to get another dog. I miss Martha every day.

decision not to get another dog -- because the only dog I want is a GS and they require a lot of exercise and training. Not a day goes by that I don't cry over his loss. But, I smile over the memories. My cats even miss him.

I could no more abandon one of my cats than I could have one of my kids.
