"The house was ravaged — its floors ripped, walls busted and lights smashed by owners who trashed their home before a bank foreclosed on it. Hidden in the wreckage was an abandoned member of the family: a starving pit bull." (From the Yahoo News link)

There is more than enough blame to go around; all of it greed based. However, consider the character of the people that would trash the house before they moved out, let alone leave the animals. In my experience, good people do not do that type of thing; even if they are losing their homes.
