Owner dropped Errol off Thursday, complaining that he wants to run and play too much
Errol was just turned back into the Associated Humane Societies at Popcorn Park Thursday, after being adopted out for six months. “This is a sad day for our good friend Errol,” Sandy Hickman of Popcorn Park said. His owner said that he “can’t tolerate Errol any longer,” Hickman said. The owner complained that, “all he wants to do is run and play, and he pulls the leash out of my hand while being walked” and that, “a .22 and a shovel are what would fix Errol,” Hickman said. “Obviously this was far from the right home that we wanted for Errol,” she said.
