In reply to the discussion: As a Dog owner for most of my life--I can't even fathom strapping my dog on top of my car in a cage. [View all]Kalidurga
(14,177 posts)19. The bad just gets worse
he put the dog on the roof instead of the luggage like normal people would. When the dog was so terrified it had runny diarrhea, instead of fixing the problem, by hosing the dog and roof off and drying the dog off and bringing it into the car with the rest of the family, he hosed the dog off and left the dog on the roof. So, now the dog is wet and being driven with the cold wind whipping through his wet fur. Then for some reason Mitt and family think this is a good story to tell.

Putting the luggage in the car and the dog on the roof really shows what he thought to protect.

It's insane. This is the point where a spouse is supposed to say "That is idiotic. No Way."

My daughter heard the story and now hates him. He will forever be the guy who stuck his poor dog on

Especially that he left the poor animal up there until it was forced to defecate
