I think this is true, too. From what I've heard about dog fighters, it's so lucky that he didn't just kill her and throw her out. It's amazing that he returned her to you. Didn't he realize you would be suspicious? Anyway, I'm so glad she is back with you where she will be loved and cared for. Give her lots of hugs for me.

Maybe he is a rookie on all this.

I am so glad you are keeping her, and that you were able to find a vet that was willing to help.

I hope this guy has some major karma coming his way!

I have to agree here - there isn't any proof he was intentionally fighting dogs and he did bring her back to you ....People who fight dogs wouldn't do that...

either way - I hope she feels better and has a long happy life

THey are more than likley going to try to gt him for animla crulety. The fact that he didnt een attempt to get her medical attention or clean her up is what they are trying to use to get him. He left her bleeding and did nothing for her. Just left her with me looking like she was going to die.

I'm sure they'll try and get him for both. If he is a rookie at fighting, chances are he didn't cover his tracks all that well. If they are good at their job they'll investigate and find out. Whether from talking to friends of the guys, maybe they'll have enough to seize his computer, his phone records. His name might already be one of interest via other sources since they are willing to take it so far already. I wouldn't quite count it out yet.

Awww, poor little Lolli I hope she heals quickly.
I'll be watching to see what happens.

Just a suggestion if your vet will give you a referral Call OSU Vetinary School...They offer reduced fund programs and if i am not mistaken they offer payment plans. Am so sorry to hear about this baby... Keep us posted Hugs
