And here I am, feeling guilty for accidentally stepping on my dog's paw... How could people do this to an animal and still sleep at night?!?!?!

Sad that animals like this exist. I mean the 2 legged ones. Every one of the pets I have owned are rescues. Ferrets, cats and dogs all were mistreated. They were all sweethearts.

There is a dedicated place in hell for people who abuse animals

Killing dogs with poisoned sausages? What evil bastards, those poor dogs thinking they were getting something nice but actually being fed poison, bastsrds. What is so wrong with you that you do this? If you've been through sh*t be the person who ensures others don't, don't be the bastard that puts others through sh*t.

I just cannot understand how people can be so cruel to something so helpless. Why? What good does it do you? When you brag about killing innocent animals with sausage do people applaud you? I get upset when i accidentally step on my dogs paw! I just wish people were good, all people. Poor babies, I'd love them all if I could.

My dog was behind me and I accidentally kicked her in the face, proceeded to sob and mumble incoherently about how sorry I was and then this crusty spoon literally ties his dog out so tight it can't breathe properly and just leaves it like that???

I just cannot understand the people who broke into the shelter to poison the dogs. This is simply beyond....my understanding.

what F*****G A******S. These people deserve hell for trying to kill these dogs and torturing them. If there was a purge, i'd seek out these despicable humans and do what they did to the dogs to them.

People who teat animals and children like this are not animals, these people were born without souls and if they do have souls then they came from Hell to plague the earth with their ever ending evil. If they torch er animals then they also torch er their off spring and it goes on and on. They need to be stopped and taught what is right to stop the cycle.

The people who treat animals this way should be tried in a court and prosecuted exactly the same was as they are for torture and abuse with people. No person or animal should be subjected to such abuse. They should also be banned from ever owning any pets. The do not deserve to have them. We take children away from bad homes and put them in foster care or award them to responsible homes. We should have a policing division of the laws in our country to protect animals from abuse.

people are f*****g a******s, i mean that.

This is a story with a happy ending and for that I'm grateful. There are too many of these EVIL people out there abusing helpless animals and I pray that they get punished by the courts!! God bless this precious dog and the people who reported the abuse and the caring ones who rescued her. I just cannot imagine the cruelty she suffered!!

what piece of f*****g trash poisoned sausages to kill innocent dogs????

Who is evil enough to sneak into an animal shelter with poisoned sausages to try and kill some innocent dogs? Why would they do that? Nothing could ever justify such a despicable act.

Disturbing, and it makes me so angry. People this callus and cruel have no humanity and should be isolated from society. They are sociopathic and feel no empathy for others, including animals. They enjoy torturing and inflicting pain on sentient beings because they are broken. Evil incarcerate.

There needs to be harsher sentences for animal cruelty.

of course it's a pit bull. Seems every time I hear of some heinous abuse case, it was inflicted on a pit bull. And she was a guard dog? WTF was she supposed to do on that chain? How was she supposed to go after anyone anyway? Pissant humans. If you don't like dogs, DON'T GET A DOG. It's not rocket science, aholes. If I see a dog tied up like this, i wouldn't even wait for someone else to act; I'd head over there at night with chain cutters and take them home. ugh, I hate people.

Was the former owner punished? Or fined and jailed?

I hope that the owner have been sanctioned for his barbarian attitude, he just deserve to be jailed for this crime, why did it need a dog in the first place

i hate and love the human race so much at the same time!

Well.. that puppy did not live like that very short, by looks of it.. why didn't they help her sooner? :(

People are honestly the worst

Someone needs to pay the guy who did this a visit with a baseball bat.

CAn you provide me with the address of the mechanic? Please?

I feel amazing solidarity with everyone who comments on things like this, because it seems like we're all in favor of an eye for an eye with animal abuse and death. Whatever horrible thing someone did to an animal, do it to them; prison would be too kind for them and death too merciful.

Some benighted people still believe that animals have no feelings and do not suffer pain. This owner of this Pit Bull probably fell into that category, and valued the dog only for its threatening reputation. Pit Bulls, more than any other breed, are all too often acquired for reasons that are just wrong, wrong, wrong - to be macho accessories, to intimidate rivals, to back-yard breed, and alas, to fight - and this is one of those reasons. Even if the reasons aren't criminal or nefarious, some Pit Bulls are acquired as pets, but their irresponsible owners don't bother to train and socialize them, or to neuter them. Bad things ensue - some Pits are simply abandoned by their owners when they become too hard to handle (on one typical day at a local shelter there were 52 dogs - 48 of them were Pit Bulls! Mostly two year old, un-neutered males). Worse, they become involved in dog attacks, too often fatal. We humans created the breed - in so doing we gave them a helluva row to hoe.

I'm glad she has a happy ending, but I couldn't finish the story. I started crying profusely when I learned some evil "human being" would break into a animal sanctuary to poison and kill innocent animals. I can't even begin to understand what could drive someone to do that, but then again I don't think I could even call someone like that human.

Why have a pet if this is what your going to do with them!

It's funny how I see some people bashing other people as dog when dog actually wasn't that cruel. Instead, it was themselves.

The story needs to contain info on whether or not the pups original owner was or was not prosecuted for this horrible crime. It should also contain the original owners name and address. #1) They should be prosecuted without doubt. #2) if they can treat another sentient being like this. They are just as capable of doing great harm to humans. Also. If they do a crime such as this. They need to have their name and location placed in all stories if saves and recoveries or even deaths. So they can hopefully be embarrassed by their neighbors and hopefully ostracized from their community. And it works exactly the same as the saying (" if you cant do the time -Dont do the crime") they deserve at least that really so much more. But this would be a less expensive way to see that the pos owners at least receive some punishment band after two or three suffer their consequences of their crimes im positive that our rates of animal abuse would decrease. We have got to do something shocking...........

A lot of humans don't even respect humans, so it's unsurprising that this happened . . . And is still happening. I really don't care about whether it was a short chain or a long one, don't trap any animals like that. If a 'pet' doesn't want to cooperate with you without chains or cages, it's best to let them live in the wild, or wherever is suitable for them.

How did the owner think this poor animal was going to "guard" his garage when she couldn't even move? There is no logical answer or reason for someone to treat an animal so shamefully. He didn't want a guard dog; he wanted an animal to torture. I will never understand the warped mines of individuals who mistreat animals and small children with such reckless behavior. Some way, some day, I hope the owner will reap the rewards of his treatment to this sweet animal.

No one is required to have animals. If you can not treat them decently then why do you have them? Give them to someone who cares for them.

I wonder, if its owner was hung out with the same chain for some period of time? I believe, it's the only reliable way to punish such heartless a******s and teach them life. Eye for an eye.

I have asked this question before : Would the previous owner of this beautiful girl have done the same thing to his own children?
