Today at lunch I talked with Rami a little bit before she went outside (I was in the lunch line) and Eldon called Rami outside to look into a garbage can. When she looked in it (a bit hesitantly) she called me outside and I saw a dog, about the size of a big puppy, lying curled in a ball in the garbage can - alive. But the dog had a rope wrapped around its neck, literally digging into its skin and fur of its neck. A few of the students who saw it were crying, I was just really pissed that someone could do that to such an adorable creature as that dog. The rope was covered in so much blood that you couldn't even tell it was a rope, I seriously thought it was one of the dog's innards till I noticed it was made of string. Anytime Josh brought it up in fourth hour Shanon wanted to cry, and she did the first time but he just kept going.
A lot of us fed the dog while we were out there, to let it have at least something decent in its life other than the obvious abuse it went through. I just wish we could have done more. The teachers all told us it was going to be put to sleep and that we shouldn't bother with the dog, but I can't help but feel sorry for it. Today is one of those days I wish I could have just not gone to school just for the fact that it was so horrible seeing the dog in that condition.
