Social Media Reacts
The incident generated widespread anger on social media against the alleged accused. "May your life in prison be excruciatingly painful. Would say more but I would be banned," tweeted a user.
"Here, Post, let me fix your headline: "Man" rapes the labradoodle he was walking for a friend. You don't "have sex" with a dog—they can't consent, and are helpless. I hope Chad Mason is in jail for a long and miserable time. And if I were the dog owner," wrote another user.
"Chad Mason, 36, allegedly began his sick crime spree while walking a friend's labradoodle..." When I asked if you could take my dog up the alley, that's not what I meant," read another tweet.
"Death penalty to that mother****r for doing that to a dog," expressed a user.
"Poor dog. What's it's condition. Usually torn up inside some get put down. The agony the poor dog went through. He has a surprise coming in jail from pet lovers," wrote a user.
