I have a neighbor who owns an old collector car. I generally like this guy. I went over there one day when he was working under the car trying to fix something. His dog did not appreciate my presence and was barking incessantly.
After yelling at the dog to SHUT UP..Without Results..my neighbor got out from under the car and went over and KICKED the dog in the chest..I could hear the impact.
I lost ALL respect for that neighbor.
I honestly believe some people have dogs...just to CONTROL them. Not necessarily about abuse.... It's just about CONTROL... of another
living thing that will conform...A Dog doesn't know any better and loves you no matter how you treat them..
NB
