The funny thing about this story is how everyone is up in arms over leaving the dog at a professional boarding facility, as if he had left it chained to a tree in the woods or something. The entire issue is one of money. He didn't pay the facility for the services rendered. If he just didn't want the dog he could have paid next to nothing, had it put to sleep and nobody would have said jack about it. Was he wrong to leave the boarding facility hanging like that? Absolutely, and the judge made the proper decision in awarding the boarding facility what they are due plus interest.
