He didn't even kick him that hard - Sh1tty thing to do, but the media, and people in general, are overblowing it.
I take it you must have never owned a dog.
I have and love my dog...In this case, the violence is not nearly as bad as people set it out to be. Also, I still said that what he did was sh1tty. What's the issue?

And how would you feel if someone struck your child or young relative for no good reason? I mean as long as it wasn't "that hard"? Would you think that your reaction to that would be "overblown" as well? Or would you just shrug it off in the interest of not making a big deal of things?

I think thats the point..
I own a dog. Love my dog, but he is not anywhere near the importance of my immediate family.
If someone kicked my dog i'd say yo wtf.. but i would hardly want him to lose his job over it.
I agree with leor. What the guy did was crappy, but it is a bit overblow.

I feel bad for your dogs.
If someone kicks my dog, I'd say and do more than, "What the heck". And my kids would demand that I do so.
Losing one's job would be the last of one's problems.

And here's my response on this specific point:
When you bring a dog into your family, you have brought a family member into your pack. You may not feel that way, but your dog does.
As the more intellectually involved member of that pact to the pack, it's up to you to accommodate the dog's point of reference rather than the other way around. After all, you brought the dog into the situation, not the other way around.

Had dogs as a kid growing up. They all lived in the house. I hated I was always the one given the job to house break them.
Used the old down home method. Rub their noses in their poop, smack them with a rolled up newspaper and take them outside.
The newspaper didn't hurt it was used for the noise it made when you smacked them across the butt.
I walked my dogs without leashes, they weren't mandatory back in the day. That took a lot of patience. Didn't use newspaper, used love, patting and hugging them when they obeyed.
Some got it quick, some took time. Pets are a responsibility you take upon yourself. It comes with added responsibility because you're supposed to be the higher intelligence.

It all comes down to how you were raised -
I'm mexican and we hold dogs to be one of our best friends (i have some good stories about dog loyalty back in our old village), but we also realize that at the end of the day they are animals.
I feed my dog, bathe him, walk him. He is an outdoors dog, and i sat for an hour outside with him this past weekend feeding him ice (lol) because it was so hot.
I am bothered when people treat dogs like humans. Not because a dog doesnt deserve it, but because there are humans out there in crap situations that we (i'll add myself on that list) dont do anything about, but are outraged about animal cruelty (this does not mean i am not against animail cruelty).
When i was 5 years old my family owned 2 cows in our village in mexico. They were part of our very scarce resources.. one day three of our dogs were toying around with the cow, my grandfather yelled at the dogs, they stopped. They started again, my grandfather locked the dogs up, fed them dinner (left overs as dog food wasnt exactly 'in' in a rural village in mexico in 1990).. Fast forward one hour later, the dogs got out, chased the cow, it ended up breaking its two hind legs.. My grandfather was furious as we had to put the cow down. He grabbed the 3 dogs and hung them. I was crying asking him to stop; he said he tried to stop the dogs and they were better off dead if they were going to be a liability to the family.
THIS is what i think of when i think about animal cruelty. What my grandfather did was inhumane, but now that i think of it.. What was he going to do with the dogs. 'put them down'?
Humans first in my eyes. This guy is a dbag for kicking that dog, but im not sure it merits losing his job - some people are dbags to humans at hospitals.. they may not kick em, but do they lose their jobs?
Again, i still think this guy is a dbag. My grandpops too, god bless his soul and may he rest in peace.. but man i will never forget that day.
My dog is family. Period. If someone messed with him, I would go LAPD on that dude. However, I do understand that not all people see their dog the same way I do.
