and it passed their sniff test.

The article talked about checking the dog for evidence of dogfighting, since the owner was clearly that level of utter moron.

My guess is that the dog humped another male and turned the moron on and he panicked. If he ever gets another dog, he's going to be in for another ugly surprise. Even female dogs hump each other from time to time and male dogs have a habit of trying to hump their owner's leg.

Nothing much you can say about homophobics can possibly top the real thing. It's the Poe's Law of sexuality.

Good choice! I'll see your gay dog and raise you a dog.

...and he named it Elton?

The Huffpost states

"A Jackson, Tenn., resident surrendered his "gay" dog for euthanization to the Jackson Rabies Control Animal Shelter on Jan. 29 because he saw his male pitbull/American bulldog mix "humping" another male dog, the Examiner reports."

"Although animals can be gay, dogs mount each other to express dominance, for play or because of nervousness/excitement, Psychology Today notes."

Besides, doesn't everyone know what a gay dog looks like

... and this guy did not know that?

Elton got lucky in more ways than one when he got given away to the pound.
