Pit bull found with ears severed under 69th Street Bridge; Upper Darby police investigating
Times Herald News (Norristown, PA) ^ | 10/11/2013 | DANIELLE LYNCH

A few days ago a pit bull puppy was on the verge of death. His ears had been cut off, and then he was abandoned under a bridge at 69th Street in Upper Darby. Luckily, a woman found him on Wednesday and immediately contacted Melvin “Buzz” Miller at the Montgomery County-based PACT for Animals organization.

Miller advised the woman to take the puppy to Stoney Creek Veterinary Hospital, located in Ridley Township.

“He was bleeding profusely from his ears,” said Dr. Kelly Slattery, a veterinarian at Stoney Creek.

Slattery said it appears someone tried to crop the puppy’s ears with the intent of turning him into a so-called fighting dog later. Someone “literally chopped his ears off close to the base of his skull with scissors or a knife,” she said.

Where was Michael Vick? My big Sheltie and his girlfriend say no more football until the Eagles get rid of the bastard.

This happened yesterday: dog now named Rusty was found disfigured (ears chopped off) and abused. He was likely used as a bait dog. Rusty is some type of mastiff mix but saved by German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County (CA). He is reported to have a friendly attitude.

Creepy? I had a friend with Mastiffs. They were absolutely wonderful dogs. Unfortunately a very short life span.

“creepy bull mastiff puppy”

Just found out he’s a German shepherd mix. That is how mutilated he was.

I have a bull mastiff and she’s a sweetheart. I was referencing #3.
Try to take the time to read the responses, even if the article is too much trouble.
Yes, I’ve heard they don’t live as long as smaller dogs. In fact, her vision is failing and she’s only six.

Way too many times dogs are misidentified as other breeds. I hope the dog makes a full recovery and placed in a loving home.

In the media all dogs are pit bulls and all guns are automatics.

Go ahead and flame me, but I’d bet anything it was a negro who did this.

First, pits seem the dog of choice for them.

Second, it sounds like someone wanted to trim the ears on the cheap with NO thought of the dog’s pain.

A friend of mine bought a puppy for $10 off some negro kids in Atlanta, because they had wrapped the puppy’s tail with a very restrictive rubber-band. They wanted to “crop” the tail on the cheap—no thought for infection or pain for that poor animal.

When I think of what I could do (happily) to animal abusers with my bare hands, I scare myself.

Sorry to see that you are so ignorant, maybe some day you will grow up to be a real person. Looking forward to it.

Sorry to upset you agenda of ignorance, I’m not a pit lover, I’m a dog lover. Anyone who seems to find joy or humor in an animal being mutilated is the one who is tweaked not performing tweaking on anyone else. So I guess the only response I have for you is sorry you are so damned ignorant, and no you probably won’t grow up, you appear to enjoy abuse of animals too much. Some people live life to love, some to hate, which are you?
