Phil, I really commend you for your compassion for animals and the way you care for Thunder and Brea. I’ve heard you talking about the 14 year old shih tzu across the street from you and the neglect on the part of the absentee owner of the dog. I see people like this who treat their animals with such apathy and it totally pisses me off too. You said this dog had fleas and that right there is gross neglect. I can totally see you adopting this little guy if you were given the opportunity to do so otherwise if I were you, I’d contact ASPCA or another comparable animal welfare organization because this owner isn’t giving her pet the proper care he deserves. Take care Phil.
