People abuse children too and they need even worse punishment but I will have to leave them to the state.
Some people need a serious pounding into the ground. I’d like to start with these people and continue to Michael Vick.
You go in at night - about 1 am - and get the dog after feeding it for days at the same time...you build your trust over a week or so — and then snatch it - take it to a good home - and and then watch that POS to see if he gets another dog...there was someone there on that property that wasn’t a human — and it wasn’t the German Shepard...
I believe you would too.
Sorry but if I ever meet her, punching her out is a pleasure I’m going to keep all to myself. I’m a bit flawed that way. :)
Thanks, I am well blessed; Dodger is a wonderful dog. Its my opinion no more loving creature ever drew breath.
See my post 7. If your experience is anything like mine we are both among the luckiest people on earth.
Flawed? No, I think you are darn near perfect!
Only my dog thinks that well of me. Any human with a shred of compassion would do what we did.
There are a lot of people like this. Many people on Free Republic are like this.
They think that dogs and cats are no better than insects.
Bless you, friend.
Can anybody out there explain the mindset of getting a dog and chaining it to a tree? What’s the point? Get a pet that you never interact with? My dogs have always been part of my family.
God bless....you are a good person.
i dont know many people who wouldn’t do the same. I’ll bet you would have. Dodger has made me feel lucky.
What a great picture and a wonderful story. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a happy life. It would be nice if there was no animal abuse, but it’s even nicer that there are people out there who go out of their way to save the lives of animals that have been mistreated, and for those who provide a safe and happy home to those who have suffered at the hands of cruel humans.
Our dog was a rescue off a farm in Indiana. He's a black labradoodle that was barely fed (he had to compete with other dogs for the scraps the farmer threw outside.)
A friend of ours initially picked him up from a rescue, but couldn't keep him because he was allergic. He called to see if I wanted a new dog (our Shepherd/Retriever mix had passed 5 months prior) so I went over to see what a black labradoodle looked like. Biggest mistake I ever made. Fell in love with the dog on the spot. By his demeanor and behavior, you'd never know he was abused.
Took my sons over the following night to see how they'd get along only to find the three of 'em took to each other like old friends.
We've had Teddy 7 years now. I cannot tell you the absolute JOY he's brought into our lives. When we first brought him home and for several months afterwards he walked so lightly and carefully around our house. We literally had to teach him how to be a puppy and how to play. What a great companion he's turned out to be though.
Like you, if I ever meet the asshat that abused this wonderful, kind and gentle animal I'm probably going to jail for assault and battery. As goofy as this may sound, I happen to believe that Dog's are God's gift to man. What other animal on the planet gives us the unconditional love they do? Here's his picture:
Beautiful.....
My family had a German Shepherd when I was very young, I barely remember him. Always loved GSD’s though. Beautiful and majestic dogs. That’s a beautiful picture, thanks for sharing.
This. Wouldn’t be the first time a situation was handled this way.
Some people need the living stuffing beaten out of them.
My cousin who often ended up with useless, abusive skinsacks sharing her bed was unaccountably brave when it came to abused animals. She’d report neighbors like this & get the pet seized. She recognised the cowardly worms as needing to feel power over another being, even if it was a loving creature that cringed & licked its abusers hands.
Too bad she wouldn’t spare herself or her son but *shrug* that’s the way that went.
