This story is a few months old (if not over a year) and apparently the reason why they put this pup in a shelter is because the dog's owner died so the dog was very sad. The family thought the dog would just be sad if he lived in the same house because he'd be reminded of the man.
Still, I think that's a shitty excuse and they should've at least ensured the dog is in good hands. I have nothing against dog shelters but most shelters just don't have the money to keep the dogs comfortable. I donate to my local shelter but it's not enough, the dogs still live in cages and only have bowls and booths in there. And even then, coming to the same shelter for a different dog is just the biggest "fuck you" the family could've done.
If I remember correctly, the story has a happy end as the dog was adopted shortly after the story became viral.
TL;DR: I provided some context to the story but it doesn't change the fact that those people are heartless bastards who deserve to be impaled by Vlad.

That iPad looks gigantic in the kid's tiny hands. It's adorable.

But where did the bread come from?

Hmm… I get it but at the same time Hannibal is a real name of a real historical character. He was a Carthagian general and apparently a military genius. He is the guy who took the elephants across the Alps. Which actually makes it an interesting question whether the psychopath mastermind that the fictional Hannibal is was supposed to reflect the military genius of the real Hannibal. You know, in the sense that both think of what they do as just pawns on a chessboard because they're good strategists.

How does sleeping after eating lead to weight gain?

Ha! This is awesome.

I know this is very insensitive but the first thing that popped into my mind while reading this was that they look like a gang of midgets.

In my opinion traditions are at best useless but harmless (for example Christmas, Easter and other celebrations), at worst harmful (for example circumcision). I really haven't found a single tradition that would today be beneficial. And oftentimes people use "tradition" to excuse their backwards mindset. Leave the past in the past, the way to move is forward.

Unpopular opinion: expensive designer clothes are for filthy rich people who think they can compensate their lack of taste with money.

Yeah, people staring at you from behind is the least of your worries nowadays. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/02/22/seaford-atm-skimmer-found/

Not-so-fun fact: Hurricanes with female names kill more people. Not because they're more deadly, the names are chosen according to some system which is not based on the hurricane's force at all, but actually because people underestimate the hurricane when it has a female name and don't take it as seriously as if it had the male version of the same name.
