He was cast into a St. Louis city gas chamber in 2003 ...
This homeless dog Quentin was to be euthanized with all the other unwanted or unclaimed dogs. It appeared the approximately one year-old Basenji mix Quentin had simply run out of luck -- and time.
He had been surrendered to the city shelter by a person who no longer wanted him. In the days following, he was a dog who had no one stepped up to adopt. That landed landed him at death's door....specifically the gas chamber door.
After putting several animals in the chamber, time elapsed and the supervisor returned. When the chamber doors opened and there was Quentin still alive amidst other dogs not so fortunate, the supervisor said to the shelter manager, 'Please, take him...I don't have the heart to put him back in there and re-gas him."'
This canine, who did miraculously live through the horror of the chamber, apparently had a destiny. This 30-pound, orange dog, the supervisor on duty at the time believed, beat the odds and should live on when she found him still alive....standing atop the other dead animals..
Now tell me that dog's do not have souls..........
