If you read my earlier post about a dog being dragged by a man on a bicycle, you may have wondered what happened to the dog. 

According to a story in today’s Canton Repository, the grandparents of the dog recognized the pictures that accompanied the original story, and the dog, named Rascal, has been reunited with his family. 

Apparently, he had been stolen from the family home on Tuesday.  Family members searched, but were unable to find Rascal until his brush with abuse landed him on the front page of the local newspaper. 

The man who was dragging the dog has been charged with animal cruelty.  Score 1 for the good guys!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

    Shame on this heartless person who obviously feels he has to show this manhood by being cruel to animals. He needs to be pulled by a bicycle to see what it feels like. Such cruel and inhumane treatment for our helpless friends. You are a cruel and mean person who deserves nothing but the worst treatment, which I pray you get.

    [...] You might not have known that August 26th was National Dog Day , and you may have been blissfully unaware of Rascal, the dog who was stolen, dragged behind a bicycle, and then returned to his family. [...]

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?
