The dog was in a crate and he was in no state to take care of it even before he fell. It's sad that no one checked on them any sooner. I bet the folks who didn't check on them will be in line for inheritance with thier hand out.

Sadly those are often the first ones in line to get what they can grab. Seen it many times and even in my own family. Folks like that are just a POS
