Dog left to die....Rescued!

[Catherine]

Sly was lucky he was found in time. He was close to death.

His owner took him to the vet, but then abandoned him. It makes no sense. If they really couldn't afford the surgery they could have surrendered him to the Human Society or whatever group operates in their area. It would have been kinder to have Sly euthanized rather than let him suffer. He was left to suffer. There was no way anyone could think that he would be okay on his own. 

If they were really desperate they could have left him where he would be found right away.

Instead they did the one thing that would cause him a slow painful death. You are right they are missing some essential part of what it means to be human.
