i just don't get it...

my nephews' dog died today and it appears that someone poisoned him. we think it was our neighbor, who had complained to my sister about the dog just the day before and told her he wanted her to get rid of him. not because shorty did anything, but because he might.

he was a sweet and gentle dog who my nephews loved and played with all the time. all 4 boys were rough and ruly with him and he never even nipped at them. the boys named him shorty.



he was a pitbull and he was less than a year old. he never showed any signs of being aggressive, except towards my sisters other dog, but they were both males and both not fixed. i know people have issues with even hearing the name pitbull, but i honestly don't believe this dog would have hurt a fly.

i am feeling sick even thinking about the suffering he felt while he was dying and even sicker because it was my 7, 5 & 2 year old nephews who found the poor dog already dead. my 7 year old nephew kept asking his mom to just check and make sure that shorty wasn't breathing.

i just don't get how someone could do something like this, something so cruel and inhuman.
