I have a lot more empathy for animals than I do fellow humans nowadays. Throughout my lifetime I was constantly abused, lied too, and betrayed by so called "friends". But my pets were always by my side.
On Tuesday, around 1 a.m., the woman heard a truck pull up to her residence. When she looked outside, she saw Watenpaugh walk up to her home, place something near her door and walk away. When she opened her front door to investigate, the woman found a small bag containing dog paws, which she identified as belonging to Bear, Cogle detailed. Watenpauh was arrested Wednesday by Shasta County Sheriff's Department and told investigators he sent the messages and placed the dog paws on her porch, but denied killing or cooking her dog, Cogle said. During a subsequent search of Watenpaugh's home, investigators and deputies reported finding a Romanian variant AK-47 assault rifle and multiple high-capacity magazines. Watenpaugh was arrested on charges of domestic violence, false imprisonment, stalking and animal cruelty. Additional charges will be sought regarding the weapons violations. He is being held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
Besides the weapons charges, they need to add theft to that list. He took the dog. It did not belong to him. Hopefully they will also take his weapon because that woman is in danger. His stalking behaviors are escalating.

The Boston Globe (a supposedly first-tier newspaper) displayed this article online with the heading,
"Pomeranian. It's What's For Dinner."
My letter to the editor:
Pomeranian: it’s what’s for dinner.
That's right. An oh-so-funny line heading a story of a man who tortured, killed and cooked his girlfriend's dog. Just a laugh a minute. What's next, an article headed by a joke that murdered children's livers go great with a good red wine? You owe your readers an apology, and your headline writer a pink slip.
You can read the heading at boston.com, scroll down to the disgusting heading. Letter to the paper at: letter@globe.com. Tell them off. This is beyond snide or poor taste.

A pet has no choice in the matter. lol It's too dumb to betray.
That insane logic of having more empathy for a dog than a human(let's get real, it's DOGS ONLY...sick obsession..people have no empathy for pigs for example which are smarter and just as social as dogs) is actually quite ubiquitous nowadays sadly.
It's sad state of affairs when you have more empathy for a dumb animal than a person. So you have more empathy for your pets than you mother/father/children? Because every HUMAN is someone's family member

We torture and murder pigs by the hundreds of thousands everyday for food. Where are you fighting for them? Just dogs eh? What about bull fighting? That's OK, but pitbull fighting is not? WTF? Are you writing letters to grocery stores? Simply because we've chosen dogs as pets over potbellies or goats because they eat everything in site they are somehow more worthy of our compassion. Your way of thinking is just another example of human selfishness and hypocrisy if you ask me.

Agreed. People who feel this way are suffering from a serious mental imbalance. It's pitiful.
Something is goofy here. Her dog had been missing for over a month by the time he made that dinner, she had to have known he was the one who took the dog because he and the dog were in the apartment together and then both gone....yet she still went back with him in September knowing he kidnapped her dog and never gave it back?
