20 Internets for Helen Rich Rosburg..!!!
Effing people are the worst. They don’t deserve that beautiful dog.
Hope it has a great life with its new owner.
Poor ole pup. I am glad he was rescued. Some people aren’t worth walking two feet for.
Well those people just plain suck. A big Thank You to whomever gave her a new home.
Good for her —
I’m gonna go buy a pack of Wrigleys and have a chew just for them.
Speechless..
How csn people hurt animals? I’m glad this has a happy ending, she’s a beautiful dog.
Doggie ping
Glad the “heiress” took Lady in. We have taken our share of older dogs dumped by callous people.
We’ve had over forty dogs since we’ve been married (36 years). Mostly they last a couple of years as they are generally quite old, and require some veterinary attention, but they need homes just like the pups. It’s a heartache due their age, but worth it as the older dogs are generally very loving animals with a history, and just want a home.
Haven’t ever had a regretful situation with one yet. Hope never will.
At least there was a happy ending for her.
I had my own “happy ending” animal story today. I sometimes feed the squirrels in the local park, and a few months ago there was one with a badly injured hind leg that was hobbling around. He had a wound on the leg, it seemed to be broken, and he had licked all the fur off it from the knee down. Still managed to get in and out of trees on his three legs, but on the ground, he could barely sit with out wobbling.
I tried to go more frequently and look for him specifically to feed, since he obviously couldn’t forage much in his condition. After about a week though, I stopped seeing him and figured that he must have died.
Well, today I stopped by and was doing my usual routine when I spotted a scraggly, skinny, pathetic looking squirrel, missing most of the fur on his tail, hanging around the tree that the injured one used to live in. Sure enough, when I got closer I noticed he was limping on his hind leg, but could walk on it and get around. The little guy survived!
He’s skinny but getting around a lot better. I’m going to make some extra trips and hopefully I can get him fattened up before wintertime.
What a wonderful dog. I could cry.

It breaks your heart to hear that she walked all that way and was rejected, but one has to think about this, hold the emotion for a minute. How did it happen that an elderly dog was free to walk away on her own? What was the arrangement? Was she released to a private owner or Humane Society? If so, somebody was not watching her, and she could have by hit by a car at her age. Everbody is raining hate on the previous owner who ‘wouldn’t take her back’, but maintaining a dog of that age and in declining health is a big financial responsibility. Perhaps the owner had a change of lifestyle, and knew she would not have enough time to give this dog to keep her happy. People should be thankful the previous owner allowed this dog to continue her life, however curtailed it may be at this point. I’m thrilled that someone with both the will and the means to support her quickly came forward. Like the Purina commercials used to say, with some dogs; ‘All you add is Love”.
What a loving face.
Poor pooch..if I already didnt have two little guys of my own I would take her in..I hope she finds an owner who will treat her with the love and respect she deserves
“Rosburg, the great-granddaughter of the founder of the famous gum, is a self-described animal lover. She has used a portion of her inheritance to help neglected and abandoned animals. She has built a 120-acre farm in Odessa, FL, that houses 300 animals including rabbits, pigs and goats. She even built an on-site home for a trainer to work with dogs dealing with behavioral issues. She reportedly has a staff of 15 to care for the animals, and eventually adopts out some of the animals or they are trained to be service dogs. “
It’s nice to know that there are a few truly caring people out there.
Poor sweet doggie. I’m almost crying now.
I hate people. That dog’s loyalty is astounding. Poor doggie.
Poor dog. Glad she found a home. I hope the mugs who kicked her out get a spanking.
The original owners of thar dog represent a special kind of sickness..........and it ain’t good! I look at that dogs eyes and I SEE MY BOY AND IT MAKES ME SHUDDER TO EVER IMAGINE HIM IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.
Breaks my heart.
While jogging this morning, a big, well fed, well groomed tan color Lab raced by me on one of the trails east of Seattle.
Obviously lost, obviously in a panic.
Looked like it had an ID collar, but it wouldn’t even turn to look when I called and ran after him.
That’s made me feel sad all day.
Now a story like this - ouch!
Gave her up for little yippy dogs??? OMG
