Congratulations, David Solis—you've won today's "lower our opinion of humanity" prize. Solis, 25, has been charged with animal cruelty after allegedly dragging a dog behind a moving car. The two-year-old pit bull, who police say was "suffering from obvious wounds to its feet," belongs to one of Solis's relatives.

The dog was just behind a 1993 Honda Civic CRX that had a dog leash attached to the rear window latch, the release said. Investigation showed that the dog had been dragged from the vehicle around an oval track that encircled the parking lot of the complex.

Now's as good a time as any to remind you that there are hundreds of adoptable dogs in Chicago, including Lucky, pictured. Lucky, a pit bull, is friendly, housebroken, and good with kids. "He likes to sit and lean next to you when he sleeps. He loves kisses and hugs and car rides." Don't we all? [WBBM]
