Today was the BIG adoption event in our county. This is the video from last year.

Hundreds of people come with their dogs; hundreds of rescue organizations there. We always dress the dogs up for the costume contest (watch for Sunny Santa & his helper girls in the video). Then we walk them across the park in costume to have their pic taken w/Santa. Everyone knows & loves them. This year, we put Ally & a friend on a shuttle to go to Santa's, since Ally has a hard time walking (she's very old, & blind). We walked the rest of the crew there.
When we got there, there was a big commotion going on. Guess who was in the middle of it? Our friend Cheryl & Ally. Seems a moron wasn't paying attention to their poodle on a flexi lead, & the poodle ran up & snapped at Ally, got her in the lip. Cheryl had Ally on a very short lead, since she wanders & gets tripped up, or trips other peole up. And it was crowded. Ally is not one to back down from a fight, so she snapped back & connected with the poodle. As in he was in her mouth. Cheryl tackled the two of them while the other lady stood there & screamed. Cheryl finally pried Ally's jaws open & got the poodle away. Then Cheryl pulled Ally away from the lady & her poodle; hollered "Is he ok?" "I think so" she said. Then...this is the disgusting part of my sad story...a man came from nowhere, out of the crowd, and proceeded to kick Ally in the ribs, then got her in a head lock, & repeatedly punched her in the face. This is at a dog event. With people all around. Cheryl grabbed Ally yelling at the guy "She's old & blind! LET HER GO!" The guy, as he was STILL punching Ally, said "IF you can't control your dog I will." FINALLY some people grabbed hold of this monster & pulled him off of Ally. She just laid there. We got there just as the guy stalked off, saying something about where's his gun when he needs it. By the time we realized it was Ally & Cheryl in the middle of it, this guy was gone. WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?
