It was a rescue. In moraly grey situations go for the greater good. In this case save this inocent soul from the neglect she was suffering.

Are we really going to argue about this? The dog is saved. That's what matters.

Good job. That pooch needed to be rescued. There is no reason good enough for a person or animal to be mistreated and abused. I don't understand why people get into relationships or have pets if they are going to mistreat and abuse them.

The horses I work with come from wildly different backgrounds; one was pampered her entire life and the other was taken care of then neglected to the point of death before being "rescued" (the owner was told where and why he had been taken, and had no f***s to give). Starvation will do long term damage; my pibble was found massively pregnant AND heartworm positive, despite getting and receiving top care she is still exercise intolerant. Strider (the neglected horse) stayed friendly with people (by some miracle), but was food aggressive and would eat filthy hay on the reg, just because it was food. He died at a relatively young age for an Arabian two weeks ago after a series of strokes. Please don't treat animals this way. If you don't want them and can't be bothered to rehome them, just shoot them. It's not fair to ruin what life they have left by destroying their bodies and giving them severe behavioral issues that make it hard to keep them safely.

The man saved that dog's life. The end justifies the means. All you legal eagles second guessing him are spineless cowards. This man is the s**t!!

It was dangerous of me (I'm short and not obviously built for fighting) but my friend and i heard a dog crying, and a pile of toxic waste was yelling at it. I had my staff, which I'm formally trained the use of. It was considerably shorter that my bo staffs because it was my usual walking stick. I think I should point out that I favor a long, black brocade, admirals coat, and this didn't happen until well into dusk. My friend gave me a boost onto the top of the wall (one of those cinder block walks) and took my staff since I didn't need it on the wall. So after I "I am the night"-ed up there, I took some pictures as proof, cleared my throat and I think the guy almost pissed himself. I personally don't care and I hope he thinks there's a superhero out there who protects the creatures. I also called the cops on the guy, showed the photos, and since my end of the whole thing was done, I headed home. Last I heard was that the doggo was going to the vet to be treated. That's my cool dog adventure.

For me there would be no moral ambiguity. I would consider it to be far worse to leave a dog to suffer like that than to "steal" it from someone who obviously doesn't care about it. It would not be a difficult decision for me at all.

I don't care even he got the dog illegally bye did a good thing and I thank him for it. I'd have done the same thing and maybe more - like kick the sh*t out of the owner. People do not deserve dogs. They're not properties. They're living breathing beautiful creatures. My fur-babies (dogs) are my life. Everyone in my family didn't understand why I loved them so much. Then 1 by 1 got dogs and they finally understood.

Some of the worst memories and life's heartbreaks I have are related to my time being a one woman guerrilla animal control while living in OKC. The animal abuse and neglect was out of control and everywhere. The stories I have would break your heart. When animal controlled failed to act because "animals are property", I found myself stealing abused and neglected pets and rehoming them. I didn't not charge a fee. I charged a 300$ deposit that they would receive back after 3 months of ownership (with weekly visits and updates to make sure the animal was getting proper care) or if the the pet was returned for any reason at ANY TIME. I also had them sign a contract that the dog would never be sold or given away to anyone but me. I worked with local rescues, not the pound, which was a joke. It broke me a little. My heart still aches for the ones I lost.

Well done that man😍sunny would have been dead by the time the rescue got to her, left their calling card etc etc. I'd have done the exact same thing and to hell with the consequences. Sunny was not wanted, he wanted her, end of story 🥰

If everyone would do this the world would be a better place, I've done it and will continue to do so as long as God lets me,,,,,dogs are children and angels in disguise and it could be the Lord testing us as he does in do many other catagories, please, save a life AND, check every backyard, there's pure gold like this in a lot of them pertaining to "forgotten" angels. Thank you for your courage and love of a "backyard, forgotten" CHILD.

These so called ' things' need to be chained up themselves and left to Starve, to get the feeling how these poor dogs felt. I've got no time for them 'things' there is 'no place' in the world for them and I'm sure one day karma will come looking for them. In the other hand thank God for the 'good' people in the world who have a 💓 and saved these beautiful dogs, on my behalf a MASSIVE thankyou ❤️ .

Legend !

Legally done... A warning is placed on the door, which is ignored. Meanwhile the suffering animal is moved to a different location, or dies waiting for the legal wheels to turn. Heroes like these do what red tape make it almost impossible for legitimate agencies to do, and I thank them for being out there.

God bless you. It makes me sick to think the owners of that helpless animal had to pass by that dog several times a day in and out of the door to their house. Ignoring it, ignoring the fact it had no food, probably no water and was very close to death only because of their lack of very basic care. They sat down and ate themselves every day/night knowing full well that their dog was right outside their door literally starving to death and sick. There is a special place in hell for people like this and honestly I hope they go there soon.

Whoever chained those dogs up deserves to be chained to a tree and starved and neglected and we'll see how THEY like it!

What if that dog had already just been rescued ?

Well done, breddah!

He did the right thing.

I qonder if That laptop fell off the bed.

Hero!! ❤🌹❤

I think he is a hero for rescuing this poor baby. Great job! It makes me so happy this dog will have love and a great future with you. I don't understand how anyone can do horrible things to animals. What's wrong with people..

Oh my gosh, who would do that? Who would starve and hurt a poor dog, who doesn't have any defense? Thank you to this author for saving him from dying, you are an amazing person! :)

It really depends on the country. Do people really care? Does the police care? Here, you'd have to call authorities. An friend of mine rescued three neglected dogs over time, by talkign the owners into giving them over to her. OFten enough, these owner know they are out of their depth and given a dog up if you make it clear, that you can give it a better life.

What you done is kind ans the right thing to do, i would do it my self. But you are vile and disgusting for trying to brand breeders are responsible for this by saying not to buy from them. My puppies would mever go to a home like this as i wouldnt allow its your uneducated and stupid, you are so stupid that you would risk the lives of billions of puppies by demonising the trade making it harder for breeders to sell, meaning the bad breeders will dump there puppies or kill them or sell them for cheap or give them away. Are you that dumb you cant work out what would happen, you drive the market under ground creating a huge amount of abuse and neglect. All the legit breeders who look after there puppies wont be able to sell and all you will have are the people who have always abused breeding and dont care for the animal's doing it, all you stop is genuine people from breeding lovely pets which will be made sure to be looked after, and making it easier for people who will put a b***h in a barn and breed her 5 times till she dies because they dont care. I read the whole thread and it was great until i got to that part that litrally has nothing to do with this thread. Go on dont support breeders and see the puppies are still being born, what happens then? You are disgusting using such a good deed to create hate of breeders.
