Every day there’s a new article about some nut case abusing a dog and this one is so sickening to read about, why would someone do that to a dog.
The poor dog was killed at the Frankford Arsenal in Bridesburg, PA. and now the Pennsylvania SPCA and the police are looking for whoever did this to the dog.
Hopefully someone knows who did this to the dog and will come forward and tells the authorities.
Read the article here.
Update: Pennsylvania SPCA has determined that it was a raccoon and not a dog.

Dog adoption is a cause close to Kane's heart. "I'm so thrilled to be working with PEDIGREE," says Kane. "As a lifelong dog lover, I'm committed to doing everything I can to provide my dog everything she deserves. Being able to represent a program that shares my enthusiasm and strives to make a difference in the lives of dogs that need it most is so humbling."
SPREAD THE WORD, HELP A DOG
Throughout the month of June, dog lovers around the nation can unite to help feed shelter dogs by visiting Facebook (Facebook.com/pedigree) or Twitter (@PedigreeUS) to tell us what they think Every Dog Deserves. A loving home? Belly rubs? Great nutrition? In return, the PEDIGREE® Brand will donate a pound of its best recipe ever to shelter dogs, up to 100,000 pounds of food. Whether it's a Facebook status update, a tweet, an @reply, a re-tweet, a photo upload of their four-legged friend, a status "like," or wall post – any social media engagement directed at the PEDIGREE® Brand will help feed dogs in need.
"At PEDIGREE, our love for dogs is our driving passion. We feel an instant connection with everyone who shares our commitment, which is why we're so pleased to have Chelsea's support and star-power rallying for our cause," remarked Lisa Campbell, senior brand manager, PEDIGREE® Brand. "We believe Every Dog Deserves Leading Nutrition, and we know how important nutrition is for shelter dogs, helping them look and feel their best while they wait for a home," said Campbell. "The Every Dog Deserves campaign connects all dog lovers – famous or otherwise – and gives each one a voice to make a difference in the life of a shelter dog."
FULFILLING IMMEDIATE NEEDS
In specific response to the urgent need in Joplin, Mo., and surrounding areas, caused by the recent violent tornado, Mars Petcare US, the makers of PEDIGREE® Food for Dogs, has made an immediate donation of approximately 200,000 pounds of food to help feed those pets who have lost their homes. This food is in addition to the 100,000 pound commitment made with the Every Dog Deserves campaign. The ASPCA has set up a temporary shelter at the Humane Society of Joplin to tend to the needs of homeless and displaced pets. With all the challenges of rebuilding a community, the hope is that this food will provide comfort and nutrition to the distressed pets in their time of need.
THE 4 UNIVERSAL NEEDS OF DOGS
The researchers at The Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition, a leading scientific authority in pet nutrition, have identified an important breakthrough in canine nutrition, the 4 Universal Needs of Dogs. These needs are Skin & Coat, Oral Care, Digestion and Immunity, and are requirements for all dogs, at all stages in its life, whether a puppy, adult, senior, small or large breed. The new PEDIGREE® dry dog food addresses the 4 Universal Needs with the following innovations:
* Skin & Coat - Nourish a dog's first line of defense – its skin and coat – with leading levels of Linoleic Acid and optimum levels of Zinc.
* Oral Care - Look for the patented x-shaped kibble**. The kibble provides oral care benefits through its crunch, which helps reduce tartar build-up, a contributor to gum disease – the number one health issue for dogs today.
* Digestion - An improved blend of fiber to support healthy digestion and optimum stool quality.
* Immunity - Leading levels of Vitamin E and Vitamin C – to help support a dog's immune system.

Today’s Abandoned Dogs And Saved Dogs In The News
Missouri Caruthersville Humane Society takes in twenty three more pets that were taken from an abandoned home even though they are overwhelmed from all the flooding which caused them to take in six hundred and four animals just from the floods.
These poor cats and dogs were just left to die in conditions that were sickening. There was even a poor cat left to die with its eye hanging out. How could anyone do something like this to their pets?
Read the article here.
The Caruthersville Humane Society is looking for all the donations they can receive due to being overwhelmed with all that has happened in their state from all the flooding and their support to help the animals in their time of need.
Donations can be made out to:
Dunklin County Rescue
P.O. Box 345
Caruthersville, MO 63830
Calls are only being taken after 11 AM @ 573-333-0100
Toledo police have arrested an animal abuser named Raymond Dean with dog fighting charges along with a few other charges that will probably send his but to jail for a while.
Read the article here.
In Chicago the police have arrested a lowlife that has been charged already with animal cruelty for dog fighting and this time Larue Jackson has been charged with twelve counts of neglect and two counts of cruel treatment to animals.
Hopefully the judge will lock this animal abuser up for a while after the police found twelve pit bulls that was used in fighting that had been scared up on their bodies.
What’s wrong with these people that think it’s OK to have their dogs fight.

Can Idaho Get Enough Votes To Make Animal Cruelty A Felony
A group called Stop Torturing Our Pets is trying to get forty seven thousand signatures to help bring a law calling for the people who commit animal cruelty towards animals a felony.
My question is why should it be hard to get that many signatures when everyone in the whole state should be running to sign this petition. We all hate to see an animal abused so why should you say no to signing this petition when, don’t you wish to see an end to the abuse.
I hope that the Stop Torturing Our Pet and the Idaho Humane Society will get every vote from you in Idaho. We need to put a stop to all the abuse these poor animals have received from these animal abusers.
