Too Late For Bandi

For some dogs, rescue comes too late. That is the case for Bandi, an 11 year old mixed breed unfortunate enough to be owned by a man like Thomas Crowe. You can see the photos of just how much Crowe cared for his dog on tbo.com. Bandi has heartworms and is emaciated. Sgt. Pam Perry of Hillsborough County Animal Servives says the dog will most likely be euthanized. A dog in this condition probably wouldn't survive heartworm treatment, which can be hard on an animal, even one in otherwise good health. Bandi was picked up by HCAS Tuesday and Crowe is now in jail, charged with animal cruelty. I have no idea what Crowe's circumstances
are, but I will never understand this kind of neglect.
