BRUTAL.

And I plan to become more so, if time allows.....

I am driving to work, stop at a crosswalk. I see a man, with a weimaraner,(sp?), puppy on a RETRACTABLE lead, with this funny, lumpy collar, start to step into the crosswalk...and the puppy, with typical puppy exuberance, bounces into the street, the retractable offering,really, no rapid control of that dog's egress from the curb.

The man, clearly PISSED,turns red as a beet, starts yelling and pulls a box out of his pocket and aims it at the puppy... starts pushing this button, like over and over as the puppy yelps and drops to the ground and thrashes. I'm like, "WHATTHEFRUCK!! He's got a shock collar and he's like TAZING the snot out of the puppy!" I can't help myself, I lean on the horn, then I slam into park and jump out of the truck and go snatch the box out of the bastards hand. He starts to yell and I just look him dead in the face, drop the box to the ground, grind- stomp it and then kick the smithereens into the sewer drain.

3 People applaud, somebody else gives me a horn beep, one guy leans out his car window and shouts, "Now just kill the motherfucker and save the poor doggy!"

Motherfucker looks at me, pats the puppy on the head and slinks off down the sidewalk.

I can't believe they still sell these things.

At least, not without requiring a license and a 4-step personality test of the purchaser....
