Who knows why they dump them? Maybe their kids promised to take care of them, and they didn't. Or they never got housebroken. Or they bit somebody. I had five dogs on my property and would not let any stray wander onto the property, but I saw a lot along the roads, some with puppies following. One old timer that lived down the road took these dogs in and had over 100 on his land - that had to get expensive.

It's pretty sad actually and hate to see it.

Thanks, this makes perfect sense.
