I told her to take the money and donate it to an anmal rescue that's enough reward for me.
Now as far as the kid. The police told me that when they rang the bell of the home where the child lives, a man answered the door and he was drunk as a skunk. His wife was also drunk they were arrested on child endangerment and neglect and someone was there from CPS to take the boy. He's 13 years old his sister who is 6 was also taken plus a 3 year old boy who was taken. The boy will probably be evaluated and then depending on the outcome he will be placed somewhere. The other part of the story is that their house is in forecolsure and they will be leaving one way or another so at least the neighborhood will be safe or at least the dogs.
Karen said she will let me know as she finds out. So at least there is a semi happy ending to this who thing. Oh and btw Karen brought Major with her who is wearing an e cone but he gave me a big greeting and lots of kisses. All I could do is hug him and cry. He's such a sweet dog. I told her to put locks on her gates. She said that Major will never be left in the yard by himself again.

How terrible. Right before Christmas too Those parents were unfit , and that is what happens when parents are too wrapped up in themselves . Sad for the kids . At least now they are safe and the boy will get the right attention that he needs.
Glad Major is going to be ok.

I'm glad the doggie will eventually be ok. He may well be scarred emotionally - be afraid of strangers. Sad.

So glad Major is going to be ok!! That is wonderful!!! As for the family, the situation is terrible. The children should not have to live like that. I am a teacher and unfortunately we hear things like this all the time. It is really sad. I am glad the police followed up. Sometimes it is better if the kids are not with the parents. Hopefully, they have a decent relative that will help out until mom and dad decide to get their priorities straight.

So sorry you had to go through that but glad you were the one to be there for that poor dog! Lesser folks may have ignored or not taken the extra step to get the owner & police contacted. I can imagine how grateful the lady was! Bless you for caring enough to act!

[chachi]

You did the right thing getting the police involved and as bad as it is at least its being investigated so it will stop. Your an angel for getting involved and helping that poor dog and finding his owner. I hope you have a Merry Christmas

Glad to read through and see Major is okay. So horribly sad for those children though! Sounds like they may have a better Christmas without parents like those two but still.......maybe there will be other relatives to step up and help them have not only a Merry Christmas but a better life.

[LuluMaye]

What a wonderful thing you did! I hope everything works out for that poor family. Again, I commend you for your courage in taking charge of a really bad situation.

[Pinky94]

Ugh I started crying as I was reading your post! I'm so glad Major is going to be ok and I hope the kids will be, too. Some people should not have children.

So sad for those children no wonder the child is beaating on the dog, that is probably what he gets from his parents. Glad you were able to help Major and he is fine. Also glad the police come back and gave you the outcome. Good job!

Hope all turns out well.

I agree. Poor little dogs. Poor kid too...God only knows what is in his head. So sad. I'm so glad you were there to save the dog. Hopefully this will lead to intervention for this troubled kid.

[ArmaniMan]

WOW! I am sorry you had to see something like this but glad you were able to step in and save this dog before too much damage was done. Kudos to you!

My thoughts exactly. You did such a brave thing. Not only did you save Major, you have changed the lives of these children for the better. You're their Christmas miracle, and you've just earned your wings!

[NGessner]

WOW you saved the dog, that is wonderful. But more important you also saved the kids.
I hope they now have a safe place also and will get the proper care they need.

[Buster Brown]

How kind and brave of you to help that dog out. Actually you helped out the kids in that family as well as they were being treated cruelly by the parents. Bless you for making a difference.
