DOGS DESERVE RESPECT. IF YOU CAN'T TREAT DOGS WITH KINDNESS AND INSTEAD HIT THEM, DON'T GET ONE.

We understand all of social media’s frustration and we agree, the abuse the poor dog had is not going to be tolerated or condoned. It has made everyone angry and all of them have every right to feel that way.
