An abandoned dog named Hope is living up to her name as she gets a second chance at life with a new family. Earlier this month, Hope wandered out of the woods alone in East Grand Rapids, Michigan. Then, she lay down in the middle of the road. At first, onlookers thought that she was dead. However, on further inspection, they realized that she was just exhausted and extremely malnourished.
According to her online fundraiser, Help for Hope, the dog was too weak to even drink water. Area resident Rachel took the dog to Cascade Animal Hospital, promising to adopt her if she recovered.
After various tests and treatments, vets discovered that Hope had a skin infection and rocks in her stomach (likely having eaten them out of desperation.) They also learned that she was about seven years old.
Police are investigating Hope’s case, suspecting animal cruelty. Vets suspect that the dog was used for breeding and then abandoned.
Again, not a "dog lover," but whoever did that to the poor creature should be tarred and feathered and left to rot.
ReplyDeleteHow terrible! I do not understand people who can mistreat an animal.
ReplyDeleteBig Dude - I totally agree with you!
ReplyDeletePat - Me neither.
Oh my god do I hate people some days. The poor dog on the road is very upsetting. It's almost as if she was wishing for a car to hit her, but I'm glad she found a good home.
ReplyDeleteMaddie - Me too.
ReplyDeleteAside from the fact that it's a fucking pit-bull, I hate all people.
ReplyDeleteUncle Vic - It's not the breed. It's the owner.
