The neighbor just came home. Somebody called him at work. Anyway, when he gets out of his car, I point at him and do the little "come here" curly finger-thing. You know what I mean.
So I'm standing in my garage drying out the little dog, and I say to him "You might not want to go back there." He says he's already heard.
Then, he asks me why I didn't take him down and I said: "YOU hung him, YOU cut him down." Then his friend comes over and they start debating about wether to get him down. I tell them that two people can easily get the dog down (one to support/lift dog, the other to unhook the cable). The owner says he can't bear to see the dog like that, so they call the local Fire Department on a cell phone. Pussies.
Here's the kicker: The dog was hanging right in front of his sliding glass door! So his girlfriend's daughter goes into the house and sees this dog hanging right in front of her. Then she comes over crying and gets the little dog (which is hers).
From what the guy says, the girlfriend didn't want either dog in the house (neat freak), so he had to leave them outside. But, he didn't want the dog running around the yard (WTF, over.), so he gives them just enough rope (to hang himself) to stay on the concrete pad. He said he didn't think it would rain.
I bet the dog is still hanging there.
