1. Jill Bannik-Brecht:

   I used to work for a high-kill animal shelter, and I knew what happened to the old dogs when they came in. I remember one dog who animal control literally picked up from the side of his dead owner’s body, and he didn’t even have an opportunity to be adopted. He was put to sleep because we didn’t have space.

He remembers the dogs licking his blood off the ground. They wanted to finish the job. That's very disturbing to him.
