I think this is one of the most ghastley picture of abuse I have seen. The pain and agony that this poor dog endured is horrific. The person who did this is sick and a coward. If you don't want the dog there are other avenues in which to take. I just can't imagine doing this to an animal. Makes me sick!!! I hope they have found the person who did this, of course punishment is not nearly close enough to get justice for this poor animal. So very sad, I am glad that this poor dog is doing better, he definately deserves the luck of the Irish!

Having been involved with Rescue now for the past 5 or 6 years, I have seen some ases that made me question humanity in general. There have been more stories of evere abuse and neglect than I care to remember; the faces haunt me and remind e of our obligation to care for those who have no voice to speak for hemselves. his case was posted on my FB site by a friend. It happened in NJ on t. Patrick's day, hence the name for the dog. While it is one of the most raphic photos I have ever seen, Patrick DOES survive and is aining ground each day. Please post this link to YOUR FB page in the hopes of ocating the monster who threw this dog down a garbage chute. hen you sell those puppies that you bring into the world, please please...ask or Vet references, personal references, do home checks, give a contract that tates that the dog MUST be returned to you if the buyer can no longer keep im/her even if it means sweetening the deal with a "money back" offer. Because ven WITH these efforts, these arbarians are lurking out there...imagine one of your puppies ending up like atrick. http://www.ahscares.org/showarchive.asp?idw2 Dawn Restuccia, Pres. ast Hope, Safe Haven onations may be made to: aypal via windwych@xxxxxxxxx =========================================================================== OST is Copyrighted 2011.
