TOLEDO, Ohio -- Investigators say a man who tried to abandon six puppies by zipping them inside a suitcase and leaving it outside an Ohio business was charged after authorities found he'd left the luggage tag with his contact information attached.

A Toledo Area Humane Society officer filed two counts of abandonment Tuesday against the Toledo man. He's accused of leaving the canvas bag of puppies and their mother next to a trash bin behind a city business. Authorities say he was moving and had tried to sell the puppies

The Blade newspaper reports ( ) the Lucas County Dog Warden's office on April 4 picked up the bag of six puppies and their mother, an English bulldog mix. http://bit.ly/I1HeeJ

Passers-by had found the bag and released the animals to wait for the warden's office.

What's wrong with taking them to the humane society? It's the most logical choice. What kind of person abandons an animal or animals? He was misguided because that is way more compassionate than dumping them. What a loser!!!

Be it animals, children, or anyone else that cannot speak out for themselves... Why, oh why, do we as humans treat the innocent in such a way? If I could have animals where I live you can be sure I would open my own Neko Cafe!

The 70 pound beastie lying on my feet, snoring and tootling would like to spend about an hour with this dipstick... teaching hm all about doggies and how they feel about being crammed in luggage like your dirty drawers. I would, of course whisper in Good Charlotte the Dementor's ear that the guy had stolen her stuffie, was holding peanut butter and had probably eaten the last of the cookies. Best of luck, you dope. You are going to need it.

Sick your beastie on him. Then give her all the stuffies peanut butter and cookies she wants. I'll have my Border Collie herd him around til he hits the ground first
