The Me-Itis Hydra

Someone on Nextdoor dot com was pouring her heart out to us because she had lost her dog on the fourth of July because he had gotten out of the yard in a panic when the fireworks started early. He had run into the street and gotten hit by a car.

At the time she was out with her two kids (because the Dad wasn’t home yet or wasn’t in the picture) buying calming treats for her dog.

Someone took the opportunity to do some victim shaming, saying that she should have left someone home with the dog or left the dog inside.
