Rescue Dog?

I'm not sure why this is annoying me so. It's a very sad story but he isn't a "Rescue Dog". A rescue dog is trained to find people in a fire, flood, earthquake or building collapse, that type of thing. Rescue Dogs do wonderful amazing things. I'm sure this one could have as well, even just to brighten up someone's life with his goofyness. He's a rescued dog though. It's not the same thing. I'd suspect somedody just left off the "d" but I've seen it in other dog stories as well.

After days of gentle feeding and lots of love, Zero, the emaciated pit bull who was rescued and nearly 45 pounds underweight, died in his foster mother’s arms.

A representative of the Camden County Animal Shelter said the grossly underweight pit bull passed away Sunday night after his health started to rapidly decline.

“He took his last breath in his foster mother’s arms knowing love for probably the first time in his life,” Camden County Animal Shelter’s Heather Speeks wrote in an e-mail to NBC 10.


"Zero’s foster mother did everything possible to save [him]," she added. "Despite our best efforts to do so, we can’t always undo the damage that has been done.”

Last week, authorities found Zero, who was named after the skeleton dog featured in the movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” and took him to the New Jersey shelter.

They turned him over to an experienced foster mother who said that despite being starved, abused and neglected by a former owner, Zero always wagged his tail and seemed happy. He also got along well with the other dogs in the home.

Workers at the shelter said Zero was initially so starved and dehydrated that he could not eat solid food because it made his gums bleed. Veterinarians could not hook him up for IV feeding because they feared it would drown his weak heart.

The foster mother worked with him and gently fed him soft food, but she and other workers weren’t able to turn his condition around.

I'm getting closer and closer to advocating that people need a license to have a baby, a sexual encounter or a pet! At least just some kind of fucking gereral stupidity test. (I'm sure I'd fail)

That would just add more government control to our lives and add the bloated bureaucracy that exists... and they're all stupid as it is. I'd propose immediate sterilization for all humans, but that didn't work in the movies or books. It wouldn't work in real life.

How about we just blow the planet up enough so that the apes can take control? Oh, yeah they fucked it up too.
