Poor thing. He’s beautiful. I have anywhere from 2-5 dogs at any one time. Pick them all up off the street, or they just randomly show up in my yard. People think dumping their dogs in the country is humane. It is not. You did a good thing. I hope they fatten him up a bit at the vet’s.
I hope he finds a new home, this was yesterday and it still bothers me. I know he would be a great dog.
Suplex. I run a cat rescue on Long Island that has a good sized Fakebook following on its page. If you want you can put the info here of the Vet this little one is at and any details that you can think of and I'll turn it into a post and share it to the other rescues Nationwide that I am in touch with
Its out of my hands now, I did what I was reasonably able to. They post them on some facebook thing. If I had a fence I would have kept him. But two dogs tend to get in more shit.
What an amazing read. You have a way with words. Right on for being righteous.
Wow, that’s a powerful story. I don’t get how anyone could do such a thing. I chased a car on foot one time on a dirt road between grape vines and almond orchards. They had basically done the same thing. I started screaming at them, “Are you dumping these dogs?!?!” Two big happy dogs. They pretended not to speak English, put the dogs back in their vehicle, and moved on. Sadly, they likely just went to another farm and dumped them. Dogs just thought they were out for a happy romp in the country. It breaks my heart.
This is shockingly common. I'll never understand how you could do this. It's practically a death sentence, and there are so many other fucking options!
I guess I just don't have it in me to betray someone that is so loyal. I often think "We don't deserve dogs or cats", almost like they're too good for us.
When I was a little kid, I used to believe that good dogs were actually angels sent to earth by God to be our guardians and friends. Bad dogs were sent by the devil, that's what I believed. Perhaps this fantastical thinking, combined with my upbringing on a farm, surrounded by dogs my whole life, has given them a special place in my heart. I think I might actually fight someone if I witnessed them abusing their dog, my empathy for them is so pathological. Is there something wrong with me?
One of my dogs was a stray, she just had puppies, was covered in mud and ticks and was seriously underweight when we found her. We couldn't find her litter unfortunately, it's taken a huge toll on her, but she's doing much better in a home than in the brush.
Bless you for your kindness. Too bad about the litter.
