A bait dog is one that is used to prepare another for purpose of dog fighting (ala Michael Vick). It is akin to a sparring partner in boxing except the bait dog usually dies.
Here’s one that survived and is care of our rescue but can never be adopted out: http://www.gsroc.org/2013/detail.gsr?id=2987
AHHH!My God...
Thank you all very much for the responses. I was not aware of this being done.
People do some really messed up stuff with dogs, and it makes me sick.
But then there are the people who do wonderful things with dogs, and I am really thankful for such people.
Last month I got to talking to a B.A.C.A. biker and he said the hardest part of being in the club was constantly restraining themselves from *not* just taking a hammer to the molesters who had hurt “their kids”.
This made me think of that.
The shelter in this article is the one where my boy Mojo was rescued from.
