Because taking the time to share the story of the dog rescue in a commonly used manner that allows friends and family to follow along is just a gigantic waste of time and resources? Not sure I follow you here?

Some days, that certainly seems the case. At least in this case the right people seem to be doing ok. Vet visit went ok, and the dog is coming around nicely.

I can tell you that if I had to choose between yanking a stranger or a dog out of a burning building, the dog wins every day.

I'm just glad the dog is OK. Wish we could legally put the guy who left the dog there in a cage except I'd put food about a foot away from the gate.

Personally I look at the whole Facebook thing as a waste of time. I took a look at the link and never did find where it said what had happened to the dog. I guess I am not very face book friendly.

On a side note I have a sister who created a Facebook page for her dog. Who cares what the dog does every half hour but she puts it out there. She is retired so I guess it does give her something to do. Personally I don't want everyone knowing mine or my dogs business every hour.

Is it much different from us sitting down for breakfast with a bunch of buddies and catching up on how the kids are, what's new, how the wife or husband is, etc? Only difference is I can catch up anytime vs having to make a specific time to meet. Personally I only use Facebook for business reasons and don't want to disseminate information to anyone unless I have to but I can see someone else who does.

Dog eats, sleeps, caps and runs around a bit for the most part.

I couldnt find the original story either. Maybe the format is different for people without facebook.
Can somone post the original story on here?

All i could see were endless dog POV posts

I'm sure this was a discussion just at the time phones came out. It is less personal, it doesn't show face, etc, etc.

I couldn't figure where you were coming from at first either but it's more clear now and I agree with you, somewhat, cuz what we're doing here can sure seem like a waste of time also. But not always.
