Abandonment is a misdemeanor with less serious punishment. 


Is it possible the guy did not understand that the area he tied up the dog in would flood?  People are stupid.

I wonder why he didn't just take the dog with him, idiot.

I guess you have to forgive people for their ignorance and stupidity. They were born on earth just like you and me except with some 'deficits'.

Nope, I don't forgive that kind of "stupidity".  If you're that "stupid", don't get an animal in the first place.  Any kind of animal.

Soooo...how did he think the dog would be able to eat and drink fresh water?  How long did he "plan" to leave him for?

 

I think the only reason he came forward is because he saw the news coverage and decided he'd get away with feigning "stupidity".  That he was going to "come back" when the hurricane was over.

 

Nope, not buying it.  He's trying to save himself from a fine and/or prison sentence by pretending everyone misunderstood his intentions.  He knew they'd find out who he was sooner or later, so he showed up claiming he always meant to come back.

Yes, the man did the wrong thing by leaving the dog behind. He deserves the punishment he has coming.  But we don't know the whole story... how or why he got the dog to begin with. I'm not assuming anything.

I am an animal lover as many others . Why did he tie his dog up ? The dog as many others do not need to be tied up . These animals become part of our family . I have said enough . God is his judge now and always .

LEON COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY on facebook
 
Thank you again to FHP Trooper Morales for rescuing this sweet dog. Trooper is in foster care with a wonderful family who has breed experience.
 
In this home he will continue to decompress and enjoy all the good things in life. His foster parents will learn more about him and have his best interests at heart.
 
Fosters have first opportunity to adopt, but if they find that their household isn’t ideal for Trooper, we’ll start looking for the perfect fit based on his foster’s recommendations. We ask that you respect the privacy of our foster families.
 
Thank you to everyone who has followed his story, for caring and advocating for those with no voice. We stress that there are thousands of dogs who deserve this same level of attention, care, and advocacy, and hope that Trooper’s situation inspires a kinder future for all dogs.
 
Please visit your local shelters and support your local rescues. There could be a dog right up the road who needs you, and Trooper is more than willing to take credit for bringing you together.

 

May be an image of dog and text that says 'TELL 'EM TROOPER SENT γου! THERE ARE 3.3 MILLION DOGS IN SHELTERS IN THE USA& & EACH ONE DESERVES GOOD HOME. GO VISIT YOUR LOCAL SHELTER AND SEE SEEIFA IF A DOG STEALS YOUR HEART. LEON COUNTY HUMANE S CIETY'

I looked at that photo again and suddenly realized that the dog couldn't even lay down without drowning or choking to death.  He had to stand there, terrified.  Thank God that trooper saw him and rescued him.

Evil incarnate monster! He knew exactly what he was doing, and needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law then add on extra time. Making excuses for this piece of garbage makes my blood boil. There's NO excuse for abuse!!
