first thought~how awful, how terribily awful that this happend to him, let alone many other people. and how sad are those people doing or not doing those things to him. it makes me ashamed of the human race, when these types of prejudice and racism happend to people.

second thought….did that lady really have a dog? was that just a metaphore? i dont know. it seems strange that a person would use a dog in that manner. sad really.
