I have issues with people who abuse and neglect dogs. Presently, I look at dogs off of the SPCA websites and look for a dog that I will someday get to take home with me. Many of the dogs on the website come from abusive homes and have sad stories. There was one dog in particular named Sadie. Sadie was a beagle mix who had been so badly abused that she was bug eyed and paralyzed. When I saw this dog, I wanted her immediately. She is a special needs dog. As stated previously, she is paralyzed and has to be helped around and fed and given water with help. Her little tongue always sticks out of her mouth and she was completely adorable. I was so moved by her story I was wanting to call and ask the place to hold her for me. As I read, I came to the part that said "we lost Sadie on.." I don't remember the date, but it was a memorial fund for dogs who are abused. I was incredibly sad that I wasn't able to be the owner of this dog, but atleast she isn't in pain anymore. That night, I cried...cried for dogs who are abused. People take out their aggression on these innocent animals. They starve, beat, burn, and do so many things that you could not even imagine. The crazy part is that most of these dogs still love humans. Anyways, as I was crying and feeling horrible I realized that people do this to children and sometimes adults, too. There are people on this earth that take pleasure in torturing not only animals, but human beings. Anyways, my heart is saddened for pups that are neglected and abused and I wish I could take every one of them home with me. This may sound silly but I've been praying for these dogs, afterall, they are His creation.
