Officials: Dog Put Out For Trash Pickup

Officials: Dog Put Out For Trash Pickup
Owner Set His Dog Out With Rest Of His Garbage


Authorities said an Orange County man set his 1-year-old Lab out as trash earlier this week.

Dillinger’s owner put the canine in his crate, covered him with a blanket and placed him by the curb to be picked up with the rest of his garbage, officials said.

"He had been hit by a car at least 30 days prior to that and never taken to a vet,” said Jessica Chapman, a volunteer at Pet Rescue by Judy. “So, I don't know if they just couldn't afford him anymore."

Dillinger was in terrible shape when he got to Pet Rescue by Judy, a nonprofit animal rescue located in Orlando. The dog had suffered a broken leg, as well as ear and skin infections.

The dog underwent more than four hours of surgery to fix his broken leg, which cost close to $3,000.

Prosecute that bastard.

I'm against the death penalty, but Lord, these people don't deserve to breath air.

:mad:

Labs are the nicest creatures in the world.

But the same thing goes...she is the gentlest dog we've ever known.

The winged out ears are a give away

We just adopted a 7 yr. old yellow lab a couple of months ago and she has adapted beautiful. Right now she's sharing her bed with our 2 mini-doxies next to my desk. Her owners had a golden retriever, her and several smaller dogs they were getting rid of because their home was going into foreclosure and they needed to move in with relatives. Emma has loved us without reserve from the very first moment.

Someone goes to the owner's house, breaks HIS leg, gives him skin infections, and leaves him.

Whatever injuries or conditions the animals has, the owner should get.

On edit: You need to take the phone and pc.

How horrible to allow a pet to suffer for a month with a broken leg and infections, then throw it out with the garbage. I think that's what should happen to the person who did this to the dog. They're garbage.

How sad. Sending good thoughts to Dillinger for a quick, speedy, and full recovery--and a better home that deserves the honor of having a loving pet.

put him in a cage and leave him for the garbage collector.

him and spoil him to death for the rest of his life. I can't believe someone would treat such a sweet animal that way. :cry:

him. You know how noble that dog was suffering like that. God, I loathe people sometimes. I don't understand them at all.

is to get more info out in the public about animal rescue, help lines for injured animals, etc so that this kind of stuff can be avoided more in the future.

from her outside the petsmart twelve or thirteen years ago.
This is him in his younger days.

for them. I had to quit when work dried up completely. Like many of her pet fosters I paid for most of the supplies out of my own pocket. I was helped a bit by donations, but it was never enough. Hopefully I can do it again someday soon.

I got attacked here by a bunch of people for criticizing China's 'culture' of eating dogs.

I expect the same folks will show up and attack those shocked by this news.

The owner was merely a selfish, thoughtless prick.

"Dillinger is in good spirits, according to the pet rescue, and is available for adoption. He is said to love other dogs and people despite the circumstances."


May he find the best home a dog ever had.

I do not at all condone what this person did ( I love dogs - have 3 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, ducks ) but I wonder if they simply couldn't afford the vet bills. The dog should in no way have been put out for the trash...should have been treated when injured but with the cost of vet care, maybe they just didn't know what to do. Maybe, given the current economic situation, there needs to be some alternative created maybe by a cooperative of vets to offer low cost or free services to those with pets who find themselves in a situation where they just can't afford the care their pets need. I don't know that these people fall under that category but I'm sure some people do...

There were other venues available to him. Instead he let the poor thing suffer for a full month then tosses him out like yesterdays refuse. Sickening.

Something tells me the owner's the kind of whackjob you could spot a mile away.

but I tell ya, these kinds of people really test my limits. :grr:

We need tougher animal cruelty laws.

A woman in my office found a tuxedo cat in the bushes on her way to the office. She picked up the cat and brought it to a nearby animal hospital, they wanded him and found a chip but the owners didn't want him back and had just left him on the street - in New York City. Thankfully the woman from the office found a friend that was happy to take in "Billie" and he now has a new home on Long Island with people who will take excellent care of him. This happened on Monday. The previous owners should be arrested - they didn't even take him to a shelter, just dumped him on the city streets.

My neighbors aren't much better. They have a hound that is caged up 24/7 and don't pay any attention to her. I take her out to run around the neighborhood or up to the park. That's the only exercise she gets. I had to shame them into feeding her by buying food for her and sitting with her while she ate. If my 89 y/o parents didn't object to having a dog in the house, I'd take her for my own.

to others. There's been loads of psychological tests on children that cover this topic. Kids who are gentle and loving toward animals generally grow up to become very good parents. Those who kill or torture animals grow up to become highly asocial, abusive, and some even become extremely violent criminals (just look at GW Bush).

She was found in a carrier on a street corner. She had been left there for at least two days. A women saw her there but thought that her owner must have just stepped away for a moment. Two days later, the woman was in the neighborhood again and she saw her still there. She brought the kitten to a shelter. The poor kitten was really sick, scared and hungry. She was really little tiny. Now she lives with me and she is spoiled rotten. She is the sweetest cat in the world. I can't believe anyone would hurt an animal.

In 2009, Orange County Animal Services investigated 3,400 cases of animal abuse, neglect and cruelty. Now, they have a website that works like a crime line where residents can anonymously report animal abuse.

“There's a lot of fear of retaliation and rightfully so,” said Kathleen Kennedy of Orange County Animal Services. “Usually abusers are abusers, whether victims are children or animals or domestic partners. All those things are linked so people don't want their name put out there."

I mean really- what do you get out of it psychologically?
