Sooo...A pug got hit by a car. The owner couldn't afford to pay for the treatment, posted to a pug site, and some people helped her. That's the FPP?

Hey, I think the owner lady is kind of cute, myself.

Couldn't you beef up the FPP by at least tracking down that pug webforum where these offers poured in? Anything?

Ogre obviously does not watch Animal Cops.
I watched that show twice and had to give it up. It made me want to go on a negligent/abusive pet owner killing spree.

My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because our family are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Cookie". It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and they said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not." Well, I said, would you let me buy the recipe? With a cute smile, she said, "Yes." I asked how much, and she responded, "Two fifty." I said with approval, just add it to my tab.
Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus and it was $285.00. I looked again and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe - $250.00." Boy, was I upset!! I called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them the waitress said it was "two fifty," and I did not realize she meant $250.00 for a cookie recipe. I asked them to take back the recipe and reduce my bill and they said they were sorry, but because all the recipes were this expensive so not just everyone could duplicate any of our bakery recipes....the bill would stand. I waited, thinking of how I could get even or even try and get any of my money back.
I just said, "Okay, you folks got my $250.00 and now I'm going to have $250.00 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover will have a $250.00 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus for nothing. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this." I said, "I'm sorry but this is the only way I feel I could get even," and I will.
So, here it is, and please pass it to someone else or run a few copies....I paid for it; now you can have it for free. (Recipe may be halved):
2 cups butter
4 cups flour
2 tsp. soda
2 cups sugar
5 cups blended oatmeal**
24 oz. chocolate chips
2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated)
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2 tsp. vanilla
Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.
** measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder.

And this is the point where we will note for the record that I hadn't made any qualitative judgements on the subjective aesthetics of the pug's owner, and we psychoanalyze jonmc's complexes and suppressed emotions as revealed by his projection of said assumed qualitative judgement.
So, tell me in your own words how you really feel about the pug.

From the owner's original post on pugvillage.com:
"My husband and I were getting ready to go out to eat tonight and Buck snuck out of the door. He ran right in to the road and got hit by a car."
I'm all for castigating stupid pet owners when their negligence leads to disaster but this sounds like a tragic accident to me. Nowhere is there any indication that the owners let "their dog run around where it can get hit by a car".
And three grand is a lot of freakin' money. Even the best pet owners come up short sometimes.

Note to self: Pugs aren't very aerodynamic. Total surface area can be deceptively large, even in small specimens. Consider using whippets or greyhounds for future launch testing.
Besides, pugs drool a lot and exude strange facial cheeses, which seems to gum up the bore and rifling. And sweet Christ, those face-noises! It's enough to give any sane human the screaming wet night terrors for life!
