However you ae also right about the long term damage to kids. I'd say 98% of my dogs recovered mentally but a few didn't. Do children ever recover?<br /><br />Betsy,<br />How dreadful for your son and his family. In their case, the not knowing is so much worse than even the worst case senerio. You can only hope some one found him and is caring for him and he is loved.<br /><br />Robert,<br />The absolutely frightening thing about neighbors, is that once I bought a terribly emaciated dog from a guy who had 4 other very healthy dogs. When someone else checked his house a few months later, they found the 4 dogs still in chains, dead. The house was empty. The neighbors on either side of him let it happen, Some people I can not understand.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-66542804039927810942009-06-11T22:15:16.731-05:002009-06-11T22:15:16.731-05:00That was a captivating store, and photographs too....That was a captivating store, and photographs too.

I get so upset when people don't take care of their pets. It's just so unfair.<br /><br />My son and family recently were uprooted from Texas (Hurricane Ike) to Vegas. They had their sweet little dog with them when they moved. Their new home has a fenced-in backyard. The doggie dug out---and has never been seen again. It broke their heart. They searched and searched for him for weeks and weeks. Sad, huh?<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-71055080802796160972009-06-11T22:00:59.829-05:002009-06-11T22:00:59.829-05:00You did the right thing, Patti, even when the end ...You did the right thing, Patti, even when the end result was tragic and emotionally painful. What a sad, sad, story! Abandoned children make me angry, angry, angry, but our laws and systems will (usually) take care of them, at least physically. I won't even try to go to the emotional damage done. Abandoned and mistreated animals make me both angry and sad, and except for a few "humane" communities, nothing is done for them except by individuals such as yourself who "come to the rescue." God bless you!Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-39497544506925807482009-06-11T19:55:35.713-05:002009-06-11T19:55:35.713-05:00Thanks kenju

Guess that one year was the plus for Savage.<br /><br />Nitwit<br />Bless your friend and for you who take in rescues. They really do make the best pets.<br />Tomorrow I wlll tell about the children. <br />The news and personal experience can boggle the mind about the inhumanity of man. Fortunately I do believe there are more of us then them.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-56394548425036002062009-06-11T12:38:56.067-05:002009-06-11T12:38:56.067-05:00I agree one good year for a dog that size is = to ...I agree one good year for a dog that size is = to 7-10 human years. But of course, it's sad.<br /><br />My best friend has 4 cats, all rescues with a story. One is from the Humane Society, but that equates to rescue.<br /><br />I am even more perturbed at 3 children abandoned. Oh the inhumanity some of us have to each other. I cannot imagine a family so devoid of love and compassion.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-78010661409954504962009-06-11T09:35:25.209-05:002009-06-11T09:35:25.209-05:00One good year can be a lifetime for some dogs, lik...One good year can be a lifetime for some dogs, like Savage. The transition from top photo to bottom shows how good a year can be. He was a beautiful dog. I'm glad he had one good year, better than none, patti.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.com
