People that harm animals make me sick. How could someone do this? I firmly believe that whatever cruelty they bestow upon an innocent animal they should have done to them. I also like some of the other suggestions that have been posted here

The poor dog.
I know though that behind the scenes, no matter what the law states, that shelter workers and SPCA officers do whatever is humanly possible to prevent the abuser from reclaiming the dog or cat or whatever animal is involved. They have to abide by the laws, however, in most cases, they have found ways to circumvent, bend or interpret the laws in ways that benefit the abused animal. Any good shelter would not give this poor creature back to this guy, but they have to work it within the confines of the law.
