I was reading the newspaper a while ago when I came across this article about Francis, a dog who died because his trainer thought electrocuting him is a good way to teach him a lesson. To give you guys an idea, the dog trainer wanted to teach Francis to stop jumping into the family pool. He tied the dog’s metal collar to an electric outlet using an electrical cord and as anticipated, Francis jumped into the pool. He never came up to the surface. I was enraged upon reading it. I just can’t imagine how a person, most especially a dog trainer, can do such an idiotic and brutal thing. Dog trainers, first and foremost, should love dogs. Whether it’s an accident or not, it’s just unethical to do such thing. Tying a dog’s metal collar to an outlet using an electrical cord… What was he thinking? Anyone knows you'd be electrocuted. I feel really bad about what happened to Francis. It’s so tragic. He seemed like a happy and carefree dog. Judging from the picture that was printed with the article, he seemed really lovable. I feel really bad but I find comfort in the thought that all dogs go to heaven…
