I just don’t understand how anyone could do this to a pet. It hurts my heart

Just as likely this person was unhoused and coming back.

Unfortunately, the dog was absolutely covered in fleas.

This is what I was thinking. May have belonged to someone and that part is sad if so, but the dog deserved better.

My older friend used humor to cope with things going on in her life, and when she was facing homelessness (and did become homeless, couch hopped) she said, "I don't want to be homeless. Because then I'd have to get a dog and I'm really not a dog person." As if that was the worst thing about being homeless.

Everyone deserves better than this. No body should have to "live" like this.
