Abused Pit Bull Rescued - VERY Graphic Link
 
This has got to be the worst case I've ever seen. This dog was found March 16 in New Jersey.

First...the good news. Patrick, as he has been named, is improving and making a recovery!

To find out more about Patrick, I've provided a link. DO NOT open it if you can't handle disturbing images. For those that can, there are daily updates on Patrick and info on how anyone that wishes to donate can help.

Here's the link... Patrick the Dog Starved - Thrown Away As Garbage -

Though that link doesn't say, someone has been arrested in this case. Here's the link for that.... Animal Cruelty Charges Filed in Case of Brutalized New Jersey Pit Bull - FoxNews.com

The second link isn't graphic so you can click on that one. I'm so happy that Patrick was found in time and thoroughly disgusted at some of the creatures masquerading as humans that walk among us. There is no punishment that fits a crime such as this. :mad:

I saw many horrible pictures while I was making my puppy mill video, and I didn't even use the most graphic, had I seen this picture, there is no way, I would have thought that dog was alive, or would live. I can't believe that Patrick survived this, and to think this wasn't even a puppy mill, it was a pet owner doing this!!!

Stanton told FoxNews.com that Curtis, the alleged owner, faces two criminal counts and two civil counts, which he said could result in up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine and community service if convicted. "It all depends on the judge," he said. "She [Curtis] caused the animal to be in that condition. She indicated that she couldn't take care of him anymore."

I'm completely appalled at this, too, Nancy.

The other thing that strikes me is the lengths that people are going to for Patrick. He could have so easily been deemed unsavable and euthanized. He is so lucky to be in the care of angels here on earth. I hope Patrick makes a complete recovery and finds a deserving home. Whoever gets him will be very lucky, IMO.

What an unbelievable story. I cannot even begin to imagine how we have other human beings that live and breath our oxygen that behave like savages. :mad:

Thank you for posting this WM.

Unfortunately, the general population of too many animal shelters house more Pitbulls than any other breed. I think Chihuahua's are next.

Yorkiedaze 03-26-2011 03:00 PM
I'm sick and in tears. God bless this little boy and keep him well and happy!!

Wylie's Mom 03-27-2011 06:47 AM
I looked. I'm furious! HOW HOW HOW can any being DO this?? I will never understand this kind of torture. Whoever did this should be locked in a cell forever, with no access to another living creature ever.

I have a very soft spot for pitties. They are big lap dogs who only want to be loved and babied. It's people who've ruined parts of this breed.

JoAnn - chi's in shelters are rampant here! We hear often of chi's rescued in horrible/inhumane situations. I think it's worse (here) for pitties than it is for chi's.

Woogie Man 03-27-2011 07:30 AM
I'm as outraged as anyone over this.....who wouldn't be? It's downright ghastly. And the punishment? At the most, it will be a slap on the wrist.

After having a little time to digest this, aside from the torture that Patrick endured, I'm left with 2 thoughts. One...that dog has an amazing will to live and deserves only the best from here on out. Second, the Associated Humane Societies are a wonderful bunch of folks! They are a model of caring that is rare to see. I'd love to see that become the norm.

How come so many Chi's are ending up in shelters? Do you know?

Patrick has a Facebook page

Thanks for posting that, Jodi. Looks like Patrick has quite a fan club! And I love his pics there. He has made real progress in such a short time. Just wonderful!

Way To Go , Patrick!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Charges Upgraded Against Patrick's Owner
 
At least she's still in jail and the upgraded charges could get her 18 months. It's not true justice, but at least it's something. Here's the link on this.... New Jersey Woman Charged With Torture in Case of Brutalized Pit Bull Puppy - FoxNews.com

Poochieheaven 03-29-2011 04:43 PM
I saw this too on Dexter's page. His picture when found is by far the worst picture I've ever seen.

Woogie Man 03-30-2011 10:04 AM
...Video of Patrick eating....also saw a website that posted a picture of Patrick taking a poop. That's real progress for him!! He's eating and pooping but does have some foreign object in either his bowel or intestine that will have to be removed at some time. Good thing it's not causing any immediate problem.

YouTube - Dr. Scavelli feeds Patrick
That video made me feel better. He seems to be eating with enthusiasm, and love his little sweater, hope it keeps him warm, till he can put some meat on his bones. So glad that there are people who are willing to help, and understand it's worth it.

Gatord 03-30-2011 10:21 AM
I am surprised the dog was still alive. Poor guy. Looks so much better in the video.

And the vet says your going to have to eat slower. Poor Patrick probably thinks is this going to be my last meal again, I am scarfing this down.

Hahaha.....probably so.

Don't worry, Patrick. It'll only get better. :)

Buster Brown 03-30-2011 11:04 AM
I was in tears of sadness reading his story and now tears of joy to see his progress. I really can not understand some people. Why not just give the dog to a shelter if you can not care for them. How they could have starved and mistreated him. Look at those sweet eyes and how gentle he eats the food even though he must still feel desperate about when/if his next meal is coming. God did finally find this poor dog and may he continue to shine his healing light on him. May he always feel loved and taken care. Bless all the people helping him and all the other unfortunate animals whose stories are not being told.

Bitsy 03-30-2011 08:11 PM
I did not look at the graphic photos, just the news story and watched the video. My emotions are too raw right now, don't think I could handle seeing the other pics. I have seen many pics of Pits that were rescued, and those horrific before pictures will never leave my mind.

Sweet, sweet Patrick. Oh my heart just goes out to him. His sweet little innocent eyes!

So glad he was rescued. I really don't understand the human race sometimes. :confused::(

I feel the exact same way.

bellemarie 03-31-2011 06:55 AM
pitbulls are in my top 3 fav breeds- but they aren't legal here... so i obviosly have a seroius soft spot for them. in the 1st pics, his eyes were just empty- thats what made me cry the most. but to look at him now, even though hes still skin and bones- he looks alive, and happy about it!!!

personally, i think the punishment should match the crime! or at the very least, every other week of that 18month sentence should be on bread and water- see how she likes it!

I agree 100% We are too light on criminals here in the US and I say do the same to her!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this, it's so sad but so heartwarming to know people care and are doing everything they can to help Patrick.

Here are some new videos of Patrick. He's making good progress and I notice his sweater fits a little better. :)
