It is truly sad that we are more concerned about a dog (before you all start jumping all over me I am a dog lover) than about a person having their breathing obstructed. We seem to be so use to all the other crimes that people commit that we have become numb to show sympathy to a fellow human. I do know that animals are helpless and it is wrong what that jerk did to the dog but I also have sympathy for the person who was unable to breathe.
