Back when I was l little kid(8-10ish)
My mates dad got them a dog, a small mixed breed pupper.. they were a big family, 13 kids all ages obviously and a bit messed up overall.
After a month or so my mate told me that the dad threw the dog in an open manhole a few days ago and left it there to die because it was making too much noise at night as you'd expect a puppy to be.
I ended up going down there, climbed down the deep manhole and got the dog out, he was extremely tired and drained, no food or water etc.. yapping in the hole as you can imagine.
Got him home, fed him and an hour later he disappeared... The stupid thing ran back to the original house(5 houses down from ours)
And that was the end, never seen the dog again.
I did ask my mate but all he said what that his dad took him away, not sure exactly where or what happened but from my understanding it was drowned in a lake in similar fashion to what was attempted here.
Mind you this was in Lithuania where animals seem to get this treatment by degenerates like this and there's no animal welfare etc to control things or re-home dogs.
The whole thing still bothers me! But little else could I do back then at that age.
