“I’ll go to jail for my dog!”

From MSNBC – A New Zealand teenager faced legal action for stealing his own injured puppy from a clinic to save it from euthanasia when the family couldn’t afford expensive surgery after it was hit by a car. The story appears headed for a happy ending, however. The public rallied to the plight of Bronson Stewart and 5-month-old puppy Buck on Wednesday, raising money to save the dog by paying the bill, local media reported.

In typical fashion, MSNBC described the event beneath its “weird news/animal weirdness” banner. What’s weird about a kid coming to the rescue of his dog?

“I’ll go to jail for my dog,” he told TV One.

Me, too. And if I ever see your veterinarian , I’m gonna kick his ass.
