.we may never know where she came from...or what name was given to her by those who purchased her as a wriggly, wagging puppy; full of trust for her human caregiver. She left this earth alone...abandoned by the monster who adopted her from the local Humane Society.... trapped by the wire bars that kept her prisoner... ....we will never know the agony she suffered as she laid waiting...day in and day out....for someone to release her so that she may relieve herself...waiting ...for a drink of water to slake her thirst, or a pan of food to ease the pains of hunger that gnawed constantly....waiting in vain to hear the footsteps of her returning Master.....who was not to return. .....This once noble German Shepherd dog was found dead from starvation, lying in her own excrement, with her teeth still wrapped around the bars that contained her. .....We have christened her Noel....for she now rests in His arms, beyond the pain of this earth. May her hideous death be a constant reminder of the evil that is perpetrated on those who have no voice.... WE will be her voice......we were her Last Hope...and for her, we came too late... She will NOT have died in vain. The Members of LHSH Dawn Restuccia, Pres. Last Hope, Safe Haven Donations may be made to: Paypal via windwych@xxxxxxxxx Dawn Restuccia, Pres.
