Who Would Do This To Zachary?

     The call is made and I hear the voice on the other end…can you meet me in half an hour?  When we meet we begin to do what needs to be done. 

He was wandering in this condition for who knows how long until he was spotted by two of our volunteers. 
  Where did he come from?  Who tied the rope around his neck?  By the size of the loop, the rope had been tied when he was considerably smaller and younger.  As he grew, the rope began to cut into his throat. About one to  two years old, he is very thin and half the weight he should be.  He is covered in prickly burrs.  

   

Tiny and Vulnerable ... Yet Abandoned

     They are so vulnerable and tiny.  They can’t fend for nor feed themselves; they won’t survive alone.  Someone who has a female dog, allows her to get pregnant, to go through the whole process of giving birth; to start raising them and then when they are just shy of 2 months they take her babies away from her and dump them somewhere not knowing or caring about their fate.  The dangers are numerous. 

I Love Dogs.

     Simply put, I love dogs.  I am involved in their rescue where I live, when I can.  I have seen a great deal of cruelty and indifference towards many of their kind. When dealing with these types of issues one gets to see the dark side that certain people can have.  It frustrates me to no end.  The reality is that cruelty has lurked in the darkness as far back as humanity goes; whether it be towards animals, nature or each other.  I ask myself why and will we ever evolve into a more humane species?  Obviously, this is a rhetorical question.  However, I can’t stop doing what I do, hoping that my own actions are a step towards that evolution.
