92 Dogs Dumped on Texas Roadways
Sure do hope the Humane Society of North Texas catches the coward(s) who left 92 dogs to fend for themselves along country roads.
Let me be blunt. Find these people responsible (there is a $500 reward being offered), and I will personally drive them to a secluded location on California State Route 190, then with the help of my German Shepard "Cujo", will remove them from the vehicle. With a twenty mile hike back to civilization, it shouldn't be too long before flashbacks settle in about their animal cruelness.

You reside in a part of the country known to unrelenting heat and humidity during the summer season.

Dogs and Fireworks Don’t Mix
As we mentioned, the fireworks stands have opened up shop in Texas, and you can buy the fireworks through next Wednesday at midnight.
Fun for all! Except the family dog.
Dogs think they're being tortured! Mine run to take cover in the bedroom every time they hear a pop. If we can't find our two miniature schnauzers shaking under the bed, we can usually find them with the jitters billowing under the low rack of clothes in the master closet. The muffled pop may be coming from a mile away outside, but the dogs start whining and yelping like the firecrackers are being shot off from the kitchen sink. Noise is noise, and they don't know how far away it originates. They just think they're being shot at.
What do law enforcement agencies say about dogs and fireworks?

Spent about 10 minutes with each, then after leaving the "scene of the crime", glanced in my rear-view mirror to watch their journey continue. Sad!
