Here, Here, Enosekel!! I totally agree. Ruining the poor cop's life over a dog that obviously wasn't really THAT important to the family is completely disgusting in my opinion. I have no idea when pets became more important than people, but I have a huge problem with that.

However, having said that, I couldn't imagine someone like Graeblyn having tied his pet outside in sub-zero weather and allow it to go missing for quite some time before I contacted someone. In addition, where was the dog's collar? The police would have been able to contact the family if the dog had had a collar on. I've NEVER had a pet that didn't have a collar on with identification.
