So the owner gave up the dog because it needed extensive EXPENSIVE medical care.. This is a dilemma for any owner without the funds necessary to fix the problem, but starting a 'Go Fund Me' page is a good start. I think the "not active as he used to be" comment was a ruse.

If it wasn’t for valid medical reasons, than its simply an excuse to abandon the poor dog.

Its one thing if you cannot afford expensive medical treatment for your pooch but I don’t tolerate surrendering a pooch out of desire for a lifestyle change.

There is a difference between genuine compassion and human selfishness.

The OWNER was not even aware this had been done.

The *owner* was overseas in the military.

He did *not* know about this, nor did he get his dog back when he came home.

Rather than fostering and fixing up the dog, to be given back to him, another woman kept it.

There are a few groups out there that will help with pets of deployed military. But one has to make an effort to find them. Apparently he didn’t care enough to do so [for whatever reason].
