Bum Reunited With His Dog After Donations Pour In To Pay $400 Dollar Impound Fee
DM – This is the heartbreaking photo taken of a man weeping as he comforts his beloved dog through cage bars after he could not afford to have his pet released from the city pound. Dave Thomas, from San Bernardino, California, was jailed for a few days for traffic violations on February 13 – leading to his dog Buzz Lightyear being impounded. After Mr Thomas was released from prison, he could not afford to pay the $400 fees required to have his two-year-old pit bull mix released from its cage at the shelter. Fortunately for Mr Thomas, 36, a photographer and animal lover Maria Sanchez was at the shelter at the same time. She snapped a picture of the man sitting on the ground and stroking the dog’s paw through the metal bars and feeding him Cheetos. She told ABC: ‘He was pouring water into his dog’s water bowl, his dog sat there and licked up the water for about a minute, he sat down next to him and started weeping.’ Ms Sanchez posted the photo to her Facebook page and appealed to the kindness of strangers. Within days the money was raised thanks to well-wishers – but Ms Sanchez still had to track down Mr Thomas because he had not left his contact details with the shelter.
This is why dogs rule and cats drool. Like this owner is a bum plain and simple. Dude got arrested for not paying his parking tickets. He has six dollars to his name. He can’t even bail out his dog. He’s feeding him Cheetos through the prisons bars. He actually left the pound and was going to give up it seems. But you think Buzz Lightyear gives a flying fuck? Nope. He thinks his owner is Jay-Z. He thinks he’s the luckiest dog in the world. He wouldn’t trade owners with any other dog on the planet. No guilt trip. No anger. Just psyched Dave is visiting him in jail. Giving him kisses through the bars. Loyal to the very end. That’s what makes a dog a dog. If this was a cat he totally would have tricked his owner into coming into the cell and then locked the door behind him, grabbed a fire hose and tortured his ass.
PS – Before we all go sucking Maria Sanchez’s dick for posting the photo to facebook why didn’t she just pay the $400 bucks herself? Jeez it’s 400 bucks lady. Stop being such a jew.
