i could but that would probably put me in some legal jam and constitute stealing. i'll just keep calling animal control till they get annoyed and do something about it. not getting my hopes up though.

if you see human being treating their pet like that it tells you a lot about what kind of person they are so if i try to "liberate" their dog and get caught i am only inviting all kinds of legal and physical problems on myself. best to just continue to pursue legal options to try and help the dog out.

i'm not giving up on that dog. that much i know.
