The real story may never be known, let’s say he brought the dogs home to pen them up and dad and mom said oh heck no, you gotta find somewhere else for them. That could be when it all snowballed and the young man really found out he had a problem when so much was made of the whole ordeal. One tractor trailer,( after the county did like they always do when something other than taxes are envolved with this end of the county) the story would have probably ended with buzzards feeding on all the animals and thankfully not one of our first responders.

DAWG: If People would worry about their Kids as much as they are worring about these three MUTTS the World would be A better Place.

While I agree with your comment about people worrying about their children. Some people have children and they don’t care two hoots about them.

The dogs on the other hand rely on their owners for food, water, love and protection. And in return, you get unconditional love. Alot of situations like this would be avoided if people would spay and neuter their pets. Instead they let them continue to breed and have puppies that end up along side of the road or dumped at a shelter. The shelters and rescues are overrun with unwanted pets but people still breed and buy puppymill dogs from pet stores.

There are organizations out there that offer free or reduce cost spaying and nuetering. Please stop overpopulation and senseless death of over 3 million dogs and cats a year. Spay and Neuter!! Adopt from a shelter or rescue and give a dog or cat a loving home.

I guess people missed this.
No leash law animals can roam all they want. Animal control has no right to pick them up. I dont like this we need to CHANGE THE LAW.
Just an FYI for the people of our county
FACA Florida animal control assoc. recommends for a county of our size and population 18 to 21 field officers MINIMUM. At this time animal control has 7 field officers One supervisor one dispatcher and one investigator. This is just wrong that our community cannot do better. Our community needs to step up and help these people and animals. This is bad and I dont want to hear economy.
******You want better service pony up the bucks and also make century and area leash law area.

I have lived on Pine Barren Rd. most of my life and the area down by the creek and HWY 168 has always been a dumping ground for anumals not just dogs you can find cats too most of the time. it does no good to contact animal control because they aren’t going to drive all the way up here for a dog unless it has bitten someone aor killed some kind of livestock. so basically you are left to handle this yourself. We have had goats and calfs killed by strays with no help from animal control so we have to handle it the old fashioned way.

The Escambia Animal Control did not respond, because it did not meet their criteria. Excuse me but why are we trying to persecute and prosecute the fireman??? We, the tax payers pay the salary of the Escambia County Animal Control folks. HELLO! They did not do their job. If I didn’t do my job I would be fired, and you would too! I think I may have to vote against the Sheriff for his role in this and any other county official that is in office.

I’m trying to understand this! Why did the guy abandon the dogs in the first place? The article had ran about the dogs and he didn’t even give the owners time to claim them before he dumped them out? Why did he do it? He knew he would get into trouble or he wouldn’t have asked his friend to cover for him! How can someone be that stupid?
Yeah that’s who I want to be saving my children and pets if my house happens to catch on fire!!
