Gosh what an aweful day. Blech.
I had to work in recieving at the shelter today. Okiedokie..
This guy comes in looking for his missing dog it's there. We do the paper work on getting the dog out. We are done but he is trying to get a tag on his dog. ( would have been helpful had the tag been on before he came to the shelter. )
Anyway I am doing paperwork and I kinda see out of the corner of my eye but it look like he was punching his dog in the back to get him to sit.
I look up at a co-worker and she gives me the face
I then see him raise his hand all the way in the air ( like he was raising an axe ) and comes down hard open hand on his dogs back.
This is where I run inbetween him and his dog "YOU DONT HIT DOGS!" " They are not people they don't understand what they are doing wrong when you hit them." He says " I don't hit people" I say "Why because they can fight back?"
He tells me he didn't hit his dog that hard (yeah right). I got sooooo freaking upset, I was in hysterics crying. I have never seen anyone hurt their pet like that in real life. Anyway I know where he lives..and that's all I can say.
We called Animal Control and reported him. Cause they aren't going to do anything unless they have real evidence.
I just feel so bad for the dog.
