Dog Abandoned

[moggssue]

Ooohhh, Frosty - I really hope you get a few days of good walking. It'll be lovely if the weather is crisp and clear wont it.

And let us know what happens to the doggy wont you? If it wasnt so far away, and if I didnt have a dog-hating cat, I'd willingly take him myself the poor thing.

Frostyfreckle you are a dear! Too many people would have tut-tutted and left it for "them" to deal with. "They'll know what to do"etc.
I have a poor dear lurcher puppy here now as a foster who was picked up by the dog warden who noticed he had a hopping gait. An X- ray revealed a broken back!! the vet thinks that as the break had started to callous that it was about five to six weeks old. What pain he must have been in all that time!!
He is one woman's work to care for as he has to be taken out every hour to pee etc. then straight back in his crate and, though this is getting better ,he sometimes can't wait for that hour!! He is, though, a gentle, patient boy and in time will make a lovely pet.
Looking at his original X-rays one wonders how his injuries came about. There is no trauma to ribs etc. as would happen in a road traffic accident, no injury to legs as would happen to him being thrown from a car. One can only imagine a direct blow from above from God knows what!
Maybe something falling on him? Or a blow aimed to break his neck and missing? Your guess is as good as mine.
It beggars belief at the cruelty aimed at children, dogs I think have no chance!!

Will keep everyone informed about the wee guy. Ooh Polly Fouracre what a big heart you have for fostering the poor soul. Yes, it does make you wonder how his back was broken and the answers I come up with make my blood boil. Moggssue, I will get away for a walk cause I need one but also I need to collect Oca from a friend up North I know I don't have room but I have ordered in potato buckets (from GYO mag) and the Oca is going there.

FROSTYFRECKLE , I can't believe you're in Ayrshire - that's where I'm from. Although live in West Lothian now!!

Shame about the wee mutt - I'm sure he'll get a home. Nature is far more important than looks - well, when it comes to dugs!

Its not that ugly dog with the misshapen jaw in the national paper today is it?

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

No, not the one in the national paper. Ugly but loveable What happened to the jaw?

[NSB]

Dont know they said it happened when he was a pup, I think hes quite cute.

Glad the little dog is getting along & being cared for Frostyfreckle.There was an item about two guys being convicted for cruelty to a dog on the news the other night, a neighbour had managed to film them kicking & beating a poor dog in their yard, absolutely evil, why do people like this get pets?
