I hope there is an organized search party out there, and if so , I would join.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear they found him safe.
ReplyDeleteYay! I have to say there is something terribly sad in the outpouring of active support for a DOG, and nearly none expressed to find a missing man! Dog people. Ready to do ANYTHING for man's best friend but near none for man?
ReplyDeleteI tried to post a simular comment and it was rejected. Why? Its true that a lost dog got more attention than a man with down syndrome. When will those who think everyone else is the problem look in the mirror? SMH
ReplyDeleteTroll, go away. And a heads up, I won't search for you.
ReplyDeleteThis just in: Search for missing man with Down's Syndrome and search for missing dog not equal. News at 11.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Chuckie doesn't seem to have media-savvy parents. That's why.
ReplyDeleteOn another note: People suck, Dogs rock.
This is not a statement against Chuckie. I'm glad he was found.
The internet: a place to equivocate two totally unrelated occurrences.
ReplyDeletePeople who indignantly demand to know why anyone cares more about animals than people just reinforce my love for animals over people.
ReplyDeleteI am relieved to hear Chuckie is safe.
Message to the hysterical: People who don't know people with Down Syndrome make a lot of stupid assumptions about their ability to take care of themselves. Sure, they need some help, and some live in assisted living facilities, but they are also perfectly capable of working, using public transportation, interacting with other human beings and living normal lives!
ReplyDeletethe only hysterical one is you, 7:52
ReplyDeleteThen there's also the fact he was found within 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteRe: "The internet: a place to equivocate two totally unrelated occurrences." Not unrelated at all. They lived directly across the street from each other. Both of their caretakers asked for help from the public, and their neighbors.
