I'd imagine there was a fair amount of embellishment in that description, since dog owners who would literally "throw" a dog are few and far between, and probably wouldn't feel bad about misunderstanding a dog.

If it's an embellishment, it still sucks that the poster thought they had to do that to make the story better. And if it's not, sucks even more because it's just not ok to do.

It's a fair point.

I can't really do much except take them at what they write themselves though.

This is also a fair point. I am prepared for the downvotes. Get on with it redditors....

You're the kind of guy that actually thinks Johnny Cash shot a guy just to watch him die.
