    So I don’t know if my comment was deleted, but I will add it again:

    This video is a prime example of humans acting badly. The video shows that the dog wanted to be free and chase things. When it would not do what you wanted it to do, you simply got it to do something else you wanted it to do.

    You are just like a delusional pedophile or kidnapper that confuses love with stockholme syndrome. Animals are not mere biological machines you make do what you want them to do. Free all animals!

    Wow that poor guy, …
    Wow that poor guy, I’m glad there are generous people out there who will donate money to injured HUMAN BEINGS. I read a story about people donating thousands of dollars to fix a dying orphan dog, and it made me sad because there are real people right here who that money could be helping.

    Don’t expect Obamacare to fix much either.
