Red Fox Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/2013/02/01/06/41/gay-dog-on-death-row-gets-speedy-adoption This healthy bulldog was due to be put down at an overcrowded animal shelter today after its owner abandoned it, allegedly because he thought the dog was gay. But this morning a new owner stepped forward to adopt the dog, after news of its fate sparked a frantic appeal among animal lovers. A woman who regularly visits the shelter, in Jackson, Tennessee, set up a Facebook page yesterday with a photo of the dog and a message claiming its owner dropped it off at the shelter because it was found "hunched" over another male dog. A post on the Facebook page reads: "Don't let this gorgeous dog die bc his owner is ignorant of normal dog behavior! He's in kennel 10L and he WILL be put down tomorrow bc there is no room at the inn!" Animal experts say a male dog mounting another male dog is not a sign of sexual orientation but rather a sign of dominance, the Daily Mail reports. Several Facebook users and at least one canine rescue group volunteered to show up at the shelter to rescue the doomed dog this morning. A worker at the shelter told The Tennessean newspaper the bulldog has since been released into the care of a new owner. "I have had about 10 million calls this morning. It has been adopted already. It is gone," the unnamed shelter employee was quoted as saying. "He's in good hands." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruin Maniac Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 How unconfident in your own sexuality do you need to be to feel threatened by a dog dominating another dog of the same gender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is incredibly lucky its not in good old BSL Australia that is for sure. Edited March 19, 2013 by inez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chezy Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I had a guy leash his dog and leave the dog park, because his dog kept trying to mount mine, he reckoned I had sprayed hm with something to make him appealing :laugh: all of us at the park at the time were didn;t even give us a chance to try to explain , probab;y would have been wasting our time anyway [ this was few years ago ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
