Ohhhhhh, lord!!!!!

I can't STAND it when people do this kind of isht to dogs!!! I think they should do something similar to the kids! I don't mean set them on fire, but, a good burning of the *ss somehow wouldn't hurt (or would it)...Brand them like cattle...as a dog abuser?

But, then again, I love and respect my dog more than many people I know, so I guess that I'm somewhat bias.

I volunteer with an animal rescue organization... as a matter of fact one of our two dogs was our 1st foster. Sadly, abuse is more ramaont than most people realize. Sickens me what people can justify in their own warped minds.

Though I do have a (human) child which I love with all my heart, I will always consider my two furry beasts my other kids. They are more than animals in my eyes. The running joke in our large extended family, is that everyone wants to be do gog under my husband & I's care in their 'next life'. I have pampered pooches!

I understand totally Snobunny, we have a child too but Sandy is our four legged child, as an added bonus, she also likes to wear clothes :) There are girls here at my firm who claim she has more clothes than they do.

I have a very good friend who works with several rescue groups here in Dallas, she has told me some stories that have broken my heart, I honestly do not know how people can be so cruel to such loving and trusting souls. God Bless you for helping these sweet angels.

Awww bless your sweet buddy. I had chihuahua's that had hip displacia and it is so sad to see them, they somehow manage to get around though. My Chihuahua kiddo's lived to be about 15 years old and were great little friends.

Last year we had 3 little dogs who were living on a vacant lot, the former block where a bunch of apartments had once been, the city knocked them down for Code Enforcement issues and put a fence around the lot. These 3 little dogs never left, they would go over to the foundations where the apartments once stood and sniff and sniff around, as if they were looking for their home or their owners, it was heart breaking. Many of us would pass by and see them, many of us would bring them food and water, many of us tried to get them to come to the fence so we could take them and find them homes... they trusted no one. Eventually those of us who would stop and feed them decided to work as a team, we assigned daily feedings, some of the office buildings around the lot donated food, eventually 2 of the dogs began to trust us and we were able to rescue them, the third... a hold out, would never come forward, it was only just recently, with some professional help, that the last dog was rescued. All three were given health exams, brought up to date on their shots, spayed/neutered and homes were found for them- the first two were adopted together so that worked out well. Three innocent little souls, left behind by careless owners, managed to attract the attention of about 70 humans, all strangers at one time, now friends... because of 3 little homeless an

I agree Stylegal. My husband just ran up to the store for me and was gone for over an hour, he came back with a tale of a Black Pit Bull puppy that had been dumped on the parking lot, he said he and a Dallas Fireman and a man from Atmos Energy spent that hour trying to lure the poor baby, it was scared and lost. The fireman wanted the dog, so the three of them tried to catch it. The fireman had ice cream in his truck so my husband stayed on the parking lot until the guy could return, he returned with dog food and the dog still wouldn't come near them to allow them to even touch it. My husband eventually came on back home but he said that Fireman was still up there trying to get the dog. I hope he does, the poor baby needs a good home.
