Latest update says the police know who the owner of Captain is, but he has been missing for a week now.
There is some speculations is he may have committed suicide but this is unconfirmed.

too bad i can't find the article.. saw it on the news though | The story of Captain, the German shepherd, has struck a chord.
The two-year old dog was found badly hurt in a Kitsilano dumpster last week and died of his injuries shortly after.
Community support continues to grow as the BC SPCA investigates.
Seven-year-old Stella McWilliam stood with a poster board on the seawall between the Granville and Cambie street bridges.
“My goal is to pet 1,000 dogs. … I'm going to give fifty cents to the SPCA in memory of Captain."
The girl’s $500 objective may seem like a lot, but as her parents note, each SPCA investigation can cost up to $10,000 to complete.
“You really have to take care of your pets,” she adds. Local News Story

I was thinking of other options but it has to be a current event so the sled dogs wouldn't be accepted.
Very glad to see the community come together to show support and try to get the park named after Captain. Quote:

Just a suggestion.

Ban this guy please
How can you say that just because a dog is an animal it can't feel pain or doesn't have a soul? That is just plain absurd. You are the "animal" in this case.

And although they have a point (that a human life is ALWAYS more valuable than an animal's), I think they're just missing out on an even bigger point, which is:
Yes, we can connect, we can treat, we can empathize, and we can mourn the loss of dog as if they were human. However, that does not mean that the sympathic people of this thread does not care about human suffering that occurs around us as well.
We equally care about those human crisis' and our empathy towards our canine friends does not mean we do not show equal (if not more) empathy to human suffering. (for some reason some people just don't understand this; to them it's just gotta be one or the other).
The fact is, people like us, we care (about captain) because we have the capacity to care for things that go even beyond what perils humankind. TBH, the fact that a few people already here can rationalize and trivialize the "value" of a being lesser than them (such as a dog) just makes me think that these individuals probably have the same qualities and values as the individuals who can just throw away a dog in a dumpster just because... it's now an inconvenient item.

If you replace the word dog with 'pig' in exactly what you just wrote, you sound like a PETA activist. It's just food for thought, but if you see it like that, then how the person views dogs is the same as say what the average person would say about a pig. "Oh it's just food, slaughter the shit out of them etc."
While I may be alone on this, I feel that the dog's suffering was pretty tragic, but it bugs me when people only get outraged to this kind of thing for only dogs and sharks, etc.
Don't think me wrong, I do agree with you, but sometimes I think people can be a bit extreme. It bugs me that there's a candlelight vigil for this dog, when people are so oblivious to suffering, say in slaughterhouses.

I think the difference is, a dog is a pet, a part of the family. Whereas a pig normally isn't. I figure it's just the pet vs. food mentality.

I used to have a chicken as a pet. Cried when it died but fried chicken is the tastiest thing on the planet yo.

Anyhow, the reason why our society is far more attached to dogs rather than your random wildlife critter is because dogs have a special place among our society.
Other than being just our household pets, to greet us when we get home, keep us company, watch our house (property) in our absence, they directly contribute to our society just like your fellow peers. Just to name a few roles dogs have taken:
* They take care of our handicapped [blind];
* Their therapeutic qualities are what started the Therapy Dogs program. A program where dogs are sent to visit hospitals, hospices, etc to cheer up the sick and needy.
* There's law enforcement dogs.
* There's search and rescue dogs.
* There's hunting dogs.
To add why in addition to the above, people are even more attached to them, (and sometimes even moreso than their human counterparts) is because for some reason, it seems like "dogs" are one the few beings on this earth that seem to understand and be able to express "love."
* a dog is loyal (maybe even more loyal than human beings)
* a dog isn't judgemental. They don't care if you're rich or poor, ugly or beautiful. If you love them, they will reciprocate. (this is far from the truth when it comes to people)
* And just like human beings, it's been known that dogs can/and have put their life in peril in order to save another human being; whether it be pulling a drowing person out of the water, pulling someone from a burning building, or even just a simple as finding help for someone who may be incapacitated.
So you see, even if in the surface they're just like your traditional 4 legged mammal, the above are the reasons why the argument of.... "why can't you (___ insert random animal name ___) and mourne for them just as you do a dog.
Or in this particular case, why dogs get somewhat a similar treatment and empathy as a human being.

The owner of Captain, a two-year-old German shepherd who was found wrapped in a bloody blanket inside a Vancouver dumpster this summer, has been charged with of animal cruelty.
Brian Whitlock, 26, was charged under the Criminal Code and will make his first court appearance in Vancouver this Friday.
“The BC SPCA is extremely pleased that Crown counsel accepted our recommendation for charges in this case,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA, in a release. “It is absolutely heartbreaking to think of the suffering that this dog experienced – it’s beyond comprehension.”
When Captain was found lying helpless in the dumpster by building residents on July 18, he was conscious but unresponsive.
The dog was suffering from serious lacerations and massive bruising to his head and body.
Later tests revealed that he had extreme neurological and spinal damage and was likely going to be a quadriplegic.
Captain died of cardiac arrest shortly after he was found despite the medial care he received.
If convicted, Whitlock faces up to five years in jail, a fine of up to $75,000 and up to a lifetime ban on owning or having custody of animals.

-really hoping that this scumbag faces the maximum sentence, of 5 years in jail. There's gotta be justice for the German shepherd "Captain."
Come on Canadian justice system, make this douchebag pay for his crime!

let's just say the justice system let's everyone down and decides not to make a example out of him(good chance of it),the public knows who he is and what he looks like,good luck to him on trying to walk down the street in piece or fear of some animal lover wanting to smash his head in.

If he gets a year in federal jail I'd be happy. He will get fucking destroyed by other inmates when they find out what he did. I'm not one to think vigilante justice will get anyone anywhere, but I would have a hard time not smiling hearing this guy got his jaw turned into dust by a pipe wrench. You can say a human life is more valuable than a dogs all you want, but someone who's so clearly malicious as this guy, their "human" life isn't worth fucking shit. Not to mention cruelty to animals goes hand in hand with cruelty to other humans.

2 years - a day = provincial prison.
If he does go to jail,the smart thing for him to do is check himself into PC rightaway.
TBO,if I ever run into this motherfucker on the street,it's going to take alot of willpower for me not to knock his fucking eyes out of his head.
