Dog cruelty

[shivvy]

I don't have any question to ask but I came across the below story which is horrific and incredible. I thought that some of the people who post in this section might be interested in following the story.

WARNING: The pictures in this link are very upsetting so please do not open it if you feel that they might offend you.

Oh that poor,poor little mite!!
I am in tears here.....my first reaction was that he was dead.
I sincerely hope they get the scum who did that.
I've not watched the video yet-will do later.

I know what you mean pasta - I presumed that he was dead too when I saw the photos.

How could anyone be so heartless to watch him deteriorate into that condition and not feed him a single scrap of food? He must have been in so much pain and distress.

At least he is on his road to recovery. I hope it is a smooth road for him.

That is absolutely appalling. My dog was one of those left at the animal centre gates, which was bad enough, but at least her owners gave a little thought to her welfare even if they did do it in the wrong way.

Glad little Patrick's looking like he's going to make it though.

You can tell he's an absolutely gorgeous little thing...just look at his eyes. Bet he'll make a lovely pet when he's fully recovered.

I don't understand that kind of lack of care....my own lurcher Sally was found in a shed-when I got her 2 weeks after she was rescued,he ribs,hips and backbone stood out. Luckily she fattened up quickly.

Patrick has been eating some food!! He is making such good progress & the vets looking after him are doing a wonderful job. He looks so sweet in his warm jumpers & jackets. He surely knows that he is loved at last!
I do so hope that he keeps on improving, though the internal damage that starvation has done may still be a problem. Early days as yet but very hopeful. Bless him,

[shivvy]

and he is wagging his tail and giving out kisses!

Go Patrick!!

Hi Boo
The initial link that I posted gives a day-by-day update on his progress. It is listed in date order on the right side of the page.

I've just cried over that. Poor dog. I would like to get my hands on the people who did that.

Just seen this...i was ILL...went to his facebook, and hes getting better as said,...i just want to kiss his wee face so much......id never stop cuddling that wee soul. I honestly hope whoever done that to him has a slow painfull death like they almost gave that innocent wee guy xxx

I think you are all very brave as I havn't been able to watch the link as I know it will upset me too much. People who are as cruel as this person or persons sound want to be locked up and the same done to them.

thanks shivvy- donut that I am, I didn't think to check that particular page for his updates!

He seems to be on the mend doesn't he? Fingers crossed he fully recovers and finally gets the home he deserves.

I daren't open the link, I'm not easily offended but the thought of seeing any animal in distress upsets me.

Am pleased to read he's on the mend.

There are too many sick people out there. Can't we just lock 'em up and throw away the key?
