I do not own a dog...

[Aerows]

10. I can only imagine

How scared to death that poor dog was after 12 hours of being alone and isolated on top of a car, then hosed off wet, thrust back into the cage and made to endure it even further.

I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy. One of my best friends is a cat (she acts more like a dog than a cat, too, interestingly enough). She has never done anything but offer unconditional love. I had a humongous Doberman pinscher growing up, and he was 105 lbs. of pure devotion.

It really makes me wonder at the callousness of this man

Do slaughterhouses even terrorize animals for 12 hours straight? I would think not. At least their terror (or lack of it) ends quickly. This poor thing was subjected to hours of an unfamiliar environment, trauma of moving at high speeds, and an owner so callous that he just hosed the shit off of him and let him bear the cold of being on top of a moving vehicle at 60 or more mph.
