Superpup Put Down By Family

R.I.P. Brooklyn :(
Well, this is depressing. The 10-month-old puppy, named Brooklyn, who jumped off the roof of his building over the weekend... has died. The pup originally survived the 5-story plunge, but now it's being reported by PeoplePets that the family euthanized him today.

Owner Diane Mella said: "We're all upset. I have three kids, and they're all really attached to him. He was like my fourth child. The kids didn't go to school today. We're all here at the hospital to say our final goodbyes."

The decision came today when a CAT scan showed that the break in the dog's spine was larger than expected — and doctors advised he be put down. A silver lining to the tragedy? The site reports that a papillon named Precious is scheduled to give birth to a litter of Brooklyn's puppies next week; Mella says, "We're hoping everything goes well. We may end up with a Brooklyn Jr."

    Angelhead? Non human animals have the right to live. They are living beings. It is people who used theM

    as accessories. Leave them alone. Stop abusing them. Those breeders are making dogs so small that they have hearts that can't support their bodies and they need c-sections to deliver. It is wrong. This woman bought the dog and them breeds it. Sick people.

    felix thinks animals are like the ones in disney cartoons, they can sing and make cute remarks and fall in love

    These people shouldn't be allowed to own another dog. Obviously it wasn't being properly watched when it got out of the apartment, then ran up the stairs, and THEN jumped off the building. On top of that, 10 months old to be breeding is way too young-the dog isn't even an adult yet!! Breeding should require a license instead of amateurs trying to make a quick buck.

  • What a sick bitch, what a stupid bitch and this story makes me sick. I hope she falls of the roof that bitch sick bitch.

    Wait.

    Did someone already say that?

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    This story makes me sick. My friends tell me why I fight for bans when all is needed is outreach. That people will do the right thing when they know the truth. Wrong!!!! Many people are dumb and selfish. We need laws to protect ourselves and especailly other species from ourselves because we are fucking annals. I hope this bitch reads this blog and jumps off the roof.

    Felix, you've obviously never been to the Caribbean. The over-breeding of "humans" down there makes puppy mills seem like convents!

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    Then Neuter this moron and ban her from every abusing another dog. I do I have the feeling that the taxpayers pays her rent.

  • Dead Himmler

    I'm with youngpro on this.

  • youngpro

    felix, the decision to euthanize was made by a professional, licensed physician for animals (a vet) who saw it best in the dog's interest to put him down. secondly, the dog was precocious and JUMPED off the roof.

    fuck you make it seem like the owner(s) THREW him off the roof.

    just get over yourself and get the fuck off that ridiculous soap box.

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    Do you know how to read? Where does it state that she pushed the dog off the roof or that the doesn't shouldn't have been euthanized? READ PLEASE. This dog is not a rescued dog but a bought dog from the pet shop and she breed it intentionally since the dogs don't live with each other. It isn't rocket science. She breed the dog intentionally and she should fall off the roof now.

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    Typing from PDA in cab and can't see a thing but this story and this bitch made me literally sick.ll

  • Dude69

    We got your point the first 5 times, is it necessary to post the same shit over and over again everytime!

    Enough of ftc's rants, and the AA Velvet ad is awesome!!

  • dadoc

    Stop that! It's against the law to text and drive, it upsets your passengers, and you might run over a vole!

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    What an ignorant bitch. How would she like it her kids were breed in a cage. Sick bitch. Her kids should be ashamed to be related to such a heartless ignirant woman.

  • NannyState

    She twerminated Brooklyn on the advice of her veterinarian. It's a pity but you can't save them all. The fall was too traumatic. I hope she sticks with goldfish.

  • Mr. Know-It-All

    Here's a suggestion. Before anybody can buy a papillon or French bulldog, or Boston terrier, or Chihuahua, or any other "pure bred" dog from a breeder or pet store, they should first be required to go to the local shelter and personally euthanize the dog they didn't adopt. Oh, and the kiddies get to watch while it slumps lifeless onto the slab. Then let's hear them talk about how much they loooooove their cute wittle puppydog.

  • nohateparade
