Grrrrr...

Okay so I'm gonna vent.
Found this beautiful guy at work today:




And I took him home with me because he looked like this:

 

 You could see his ribs and hip bones through his thick fur.
And it ripped my heart out.
We gave him some hotdog bits and water so he'd stick around til I got off work. He was hungry. And very sweet about it. I took him home, got him some dog food and water and took these pics, trying to get a good one to put on Facebook to try and find his owners. I figured he must've been on his own for awhile to look as bad as he did. I gave him food and water and he chowed down. And then I thought that probably if he hadn't eaten for a long time he should take it easy so I took the food away for awhile. He just looked at me. I just kinda hung out with him for the next half hour, petting him as he lay next to me. And then I got a call from work saying someone was there looking for him and they sent them over.

Apparently he hadn't been missing very long.

Okay you know that I know that I'm not classy at all...so when I say that the couple that came to pick up Dakota was 'white trash'....ya, they were. Like it's barely 60 degrees and she's wearing a strappy tank top stretched over her pregnant belly... Ya.

Spaghetti Straps: Be careful! Get away from him! He's mean!

Me: (raises eyebrows) He's been fine with me...I gave him some food...

Spaghetti Straps: Oh I've tried everything! He just won't eat for us, he's got worms, I gave him chew and everything, of course I don't go near him because he tries to attack me I just chuck it towards him and he won't eat anything. I've tried everything!

Me:   (everything except going to the vet! grrrrr)

They took him away and now I'm kicking myself for letting them.
