Last weekend someone tried to put this dog out in the Sodaigomi (large rubbish). It seems the owner thought the animal had passed its use-by-date and it was acceptable to put it out with the trash. The rubbish collector offered to take the dog to the hokenjo, but the person’s neighbor, disgusted by it all, volunteered to find the dog a home. Luckily she called Animal Refuge Kansai (ARK) and they were able to rescue the dog and pursue the matter further with the police.
