A Man Who Was Mean to His Dog

I feel animal abuse is wrong and beating a dog is cruel and unusual punishment. The last thing that should go threw anyones mind is hurting mans best friend. When reading this the first thing that came to mind was what Michel Vick did to those poor dogs. In case you didn't know Vick hurt dogs to get pit bulls to fight in dog fightsI think that the Mother should have stood up and take action against the man who was hurting the dog. Sam clearly had the right idea to stand up to the man who was hurting the dog. Thankfully the other mother took action and put a stop to the beating of the dog. There was also a very religious aspect to the story and I felt that it was too much and that they overused. I feel that no dog should be beaten because they are over powered by people. I believe animal abuse is overlooked and not frowned upon enough. Dogs should be treated with respect and taken care of. I think the dog can also be represented as a human in the story. Since there was a lot of religious references and it could stand for equality. All in all I think this was a sad story and that it shows that you should stand up and take action for what you think is wrong like animal abuse.
