Came across this posting in Facebook just earlier by Cyrus Kimchi on Cebu City Pound's wall..WTH!!
Around 11:30 PM last June 28, 2012 we saw this poor dog (unsure of the breed, but maybe a pitbull or an american bulldog), tied up to the back of a dark blue Nissan Terrano with plate number GHZ 121 as if beingexercised around the Ayala Center Cebu area. This is clearly a very irresponsible and lazy act on the owner's part. Not only is he/she wasting gas and contributing to pollution but moreover he/she is putting the dog in tremendous peril. The dog could just be easily hit or run over by another vehicle which in turn could possibly put other motorists in danger as well. It would've been so easy for the owner to get some air and simply walk the dog or with a bike where they are both in full view (so the owner can also get exercise in the very least!) than to have thoughtlessly opted to sit in his/her airconditioned vehicle and put the dog and other people in harm's way. What's worse is this isnt the first time that we had seen this same car and dog roaming around Escario during the late evenings. As a dog enthusiast and animal lover, my initial instinct was to chase down the driver to reprimand him/her of his/her actions. My companion was logical enough to think that it may not be a good idea, for fear of getting into a heated confrontation, and we had lost track of the car in the middle of our debate to do so. Fortunately, we caught the car a second time and I was determined to take some serious action by taking photos of the incident. Our mobile phone cameras werent enough to catch the details of the plate number but I wrote it down so I would be able to take note of it. To whomever is the owner of this dog and this car, or to whoever knows these people, please bring this to their attention so that they may be aware that what their doing is wrong. This also goes for every pet owner out there- to think responsibly and carefully about the welfare of their pets. I am banking on the good netizens of Facebook to bring this ignorant pet owner to a stop.
I saw this deed once along Escario on my way to work.. this is so heartbreaking
