[joslar15]

Lost his home, a loyal companion of 11 years and if that isn't bad enough, gets citation for illegal burning.

Did he not have access to a shovel?

Well, the article said; "called several animal shelters to ask for help disposing of the dog’s body but was told the dog had to be brought to them. He said the dog was too big for him to lift." ...so maybe if that was the case, he was physically unable to dig a big hole, as well.

He couldn't ask a friend, neighbor or family member to help him?

Well, at least his local government was there to make a few bucks off his misfortune.

If he could have, I'd think he wouldn't have needed to call any shelters for help.
I kind of wish the article would have explained things a little bit more... but after two minutes of sleuthing on the net, it looks to the untrained info-seeker (me) like he was most likely well over 65.

I can see that. But, if the Rottweilet was a male, they can weigh as much as 150 pounds.

My Rotty weighs 130. I can lift him up and carry him. But it's a PITA.

And you're around 28 and probably have a decent back...give it about 40 years and try the same feat.

Nah. My goal is to be 70 years old, and be able to look like I can kick an 18-30 year old's Ass.

Just from working out and eating my veggies. THAT'S a goal everybody should have.

Yeah right, the amount of the ticket probably paid for the gas in the fire truck. The cost incured by the city from fighting the fire is probably rather large.

Some cherished companion, lets throw some gas on him and light er up. He was an idiot, luckily for him insurance pays for stupidity and his house will be taken care of.

I feel sad for this guy. Few things are sadder than losing your best friend. But then to be unable to dispose of the remains and the only solution you can come up with burns your home and gets you fined by the government....
I wanna give him a hug.
