This, this is why we discipline our children and shape them into good kids and not ing orang a*****e kids. If I found out my kid did this to an animal their a** would be so red they wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

The perpetrators of this cruelty should 1) be forced to pay for all the costs involved in rescuing this dog. 2) get a large amount of therapy that the parents will pay for. 3) be banned from owning any pets or getting within 10 feet of a domestic animal for the next 10 years. 4) do community service. This would be the minimum to see if these sociopaths in the making can be redeemed.

Let's be honest and change the word "kids" in the title to "monsters" (and I'm staying polite). Young age is no mitigation for cruelty, kids like this are junior psychopaths. And should be kicked in the **s

The children were found a rock was tied to their ankles and were tossed into the closest body of water. They were not missed.

Cruel children meaning evil little c***s

I remember crying because boys were smashing worms. They were laughing while doing it - we were all around 6 or 7. I do think many children are somewhat sociopathic until they actually learn empathy. I'm not convinced empathy is something that comes naturally for everybody. And some never learn.

I'm really glad the dog is okay... this is heart breaking

How the HELL did the parents raise those children? And that's if they cared enough to actually spend time with them? I'm sorry, but I can't say that they were just kids, because even kids who do stuff like this, deserve a heavy penalty! Unbelievable! I'm so glad about the dof though. He is such a beautuful fella, and I would hate humanity forever if he did actually pass away... Unbelievable.

Cruelty to animals begets cruelty to people. R#pists & murderers often start with torturing animals .These children will never grow up to understand the damage they do. They may grow up to sociopaths & take delight in inflicting pain & suffering.

I wish these f*****g idiot f*****g twatt untreated cancer and long and painfully full of agony moments for what they did to that puppy

Love the ending! God Bless the wonderful people who saved him. Hope the kids are caught and punished.

I love happy endings! Thanks to all the caring people who helped him survive and got him into a loving home.

So very sad. Glad there are people who care,. There is too much cruelty in this world. God bless you little puppy

I hope those kids were punished for being such grossly despicable people!

they deserved the same method

Beat the monsters until they pass out!!! Little evil shits!!

I swear to god, why do people do this to animals?!?! There are WAY too many incidents with kids/teen/adults being cruel to animals! WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS?!?! I feel so angry. Because I couldn't do anything to stop this...

SICK SICK SICK punks...Obviously these punks do not have a very good upbringing and bad parenting....

Those horrible children! Why do people abuse animals? Is it to get rid of stress of others? Or just because you want to? Others can help you through hard times! You don't have to take it out on poor little animals! And to those children, I hope you never own a pet again! They don't deserve this horrible treatment! Thank you for reading this comment

what a beautiful dog, those kids deserve to go to the worst bit in the worst hell, even though I do not believe in those things, they are cruel and horrible, and the dog is beautiful even when he was glue covered, this story is so sad for the puppy, people need to keep a better eye on their children

Not 'cruel children', only monsters :(

What happened to the piece of s**t kids that did this?

I saw a similar act when i was a kid, my friends were bullying with a cat trapped in the corner, i hardly managed to back them off but i was small and couldn't protect the cat forever, a few days later i saw him hanging from the tree in the backyard of a kindergarden. I don't think it is about kids, it is obviously their parent's fault. Because it was my parent's who made sure i am not like them.

I had apartment in Turkey for while. The level of cruelty to animals astounded and sickened me - dogs with tails and ears hacked off - by kids, cats treated even worse. Every so often local council round up strays - and poison them. As so many British lived out there then they slowly showed the brutish Turks they didn't approve, or condone, their treatment of animals. A very brave lady, Gill, set up Animal Rescue Centre in my area - and Brits supported 100% with table-top sales to raise funds to help strays. This absolutely appalling, senseless act of cruelty only goes to illustrate further how barbaric, uneducated and detestable the Turks are. They TEACH their kids to be cruel: one day at cafe with friend, ginger cat laying, tummy up, vile mother of a child said (in Turkish) "jump on it's belly." Kid did so. I was furious, told vile kid off. Was nearly lynched but defended cat. The Turks are a vile, cruel, barbaric race. Cruelty to animals - main reason so many Brits sold up.

i shame you whoever did that to that dog

they should desrved the same method

in our sad and sorry world respect is not always taught , and with a gang of kids they become like a pack and edge each other on. I hope one of them lets slip one day what they did and the parents have enough guts to report it, then send them to a rescue centre for a week or so of there holidays. wake up calls needed

He's so cute!! I hate those children for what they did and their parents for doing nothing that this story named.

I hope they found those kids & got punished...!!! God Bless this who found the dog 🐶 & those who adopted... Love You Strong Dog 🐕 Angel 😇...
