I thought this was going to be about Obama after Putin had his way with him.
Those thet truly care for God’s lesser creatures deserve a special place in Heaven.
What did Chris Matthews do this time?
This is a great story about human kindness and the ability of animals to learn to trust again.
In July we got a dog that had been taken by the town animal control officer. The owner was arrested for abuse and cruelty. Dodger’s back was bare of fur due to untreated flea infestations and constant scratching. His hind end is very arthritic due to untreated Lyme disease. He is unable to wag his bare tail due to nerve damage.
At first I carried his 78 lbs up and down stairs each day but now, with help, he can make his own way up and down. His fur is growing back a bit and he even plays with our other rescue dog. He’s asleep at my feet right now and snoring contentedly.
I don’t think I’ve wanted to punch a female since I was about 6 years-old but if I ever meet Dodger’s previous owner, I’m going to jail.
Poor Donkey, but lucky to have smart people who care. How thoughtful of them to use their imagination and help him out. Vets can learn a lot from this modality.
I am so sick of cruelty
I just about have lost the will to live with the demons that surround me
There needs to be serious consequences for animal abusers who often also simultaneously abuse people at some point. As a country we are still cavalier about it, preferring to slap offenders’ hands or else look away. I have little patience with the abusive scum.
What you are doing is exceedingly noble. I salute you.
This is news? I saw a similar thing in an old copy of WESTERN HORSEMAN many years ago. It was a horse that the owner had placed the front legs in a pair of bib overhauls to prevent fly bites.
I’m the beneficiary, believe me
the pants do have a nice crease to them....
Our last dog had all the fur shaved from one back leg for an orthopedic procedure. That winter, we took an old sweatshirt and cut it so his leg was covered by the arm and we could pin it up over the top of his haunch.
Yes, he looked silly, buy he could go out to pee without getting frozen and it kept him from licking his skin raw.
Pray to St. Michael & the Blessed Mother. Demons are terrified of them.
true, very true
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Amen indeed.
It is beyond me how anyone can abuse a helpless animal.
The pants are cute.
