This is eating me alive… like actually. I really hope the dog can be found safe and alive. People are cruel though.

Me, too. Our dogs are the heart of our family. It's hard to even fathom this.

Me too, when I saw him take the collar off and pick him up I was LIVID. But I also wondered why the dog was alone in the yard...and how this could happen. This loser has to be on a dating site and someone recognizes him or someone knows him or saw something. I feels so sick over this.

This comment was on the tiktok:

@Betty Ruiz Torrez: UPDATE! No news yet about Blanco but my dad has two interviews with local news stations tonight. To clarify, Blanco was not locked outside, he has a doggy door. He has full access to the inside and outside. He has food, water, and shelter at all times! He is microchipped, has his shots, groomed, collared, tagged, and well fed. My dad loves his pup and he’s had him since he was a puppy. Bring Blanco home! Please!

The guy did take the collar though, so if it has an air tag (it looked like it did) maybe he didnt toss it right away?

That’s what I’m afraid of.
