What?
A dog was abandoned at the Stanly County Animal Shelter in North Carolina because they saw him hump another male dog. In a Facebook post by the shelter, Fezco, the pupper, was introduced. According to the post, the four-year-old animal gets along with people and other animals.
Fezco’s behavior, while unacceptable and odd to his previous owners, is absolutely normal, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “Mounting, thrusting (humping) and masturbation are normal behaviors exhibited by most dogs … They mount and thrust against other animals, people, and objects, such as wadded-up blankets, dog beds, and toys. Sometimes, dogs just rub against people or objects (without mounting them), or they lick themselves,” the organization wrote on their website.
