I just.. I don’t know. When I saw it happen last night I was mortified. This dog was and is the sweetest thing. It clearly has been around humans and was okay to be touched. It was so thin that you could see it’s spine protrude, and this dog is some German Shepard looking breed so I know it’s abnormal. I spent hours looking for this sweet dog and couldn’t find anything in the dark, and the police never showed after the call I made to them. I went back down the road today, knocking on doors and showing the nameless harness to people. Finally I found a property that gave me the chills. I truly wish I was making it up, but it was a stereotypical junk house nightmare. There were 5 or 6 broken down and scrapped cars on the lawn, the house itself littered with construction equipment just rusting in the rain, and wood splintering out from many directions of the house. After walking around trying to find a door to knock on, two cats (one black and one short hair calico) came up to my leg meowing. They were both malnourished and the black cat has an untreated cut along its side. They began crying when I showed them affection. I have three cats, and I know the difference between meowing and crying and this was just.. heartbreaking. I knocked on the door and heard a dog bark, followed by a “shut the fuck up.” The man who answered was strung out, possibly on meth or heroin from the smell and the sores, and wearing baggy camo clothes. I tried to explain myself and tell the story about the dog, when I saw the dog behind him. It was limping and whining, and when he saw me he started to wag his tail. The owner closed the door a little to either hide/block the dog, inside, or both. He said, after taking the harness, that “oh yeah, that happens a lot. The dog’s got like no brain, so it can’t even tell when it gets hit. Just happens. One day it just showed up here and I’ve kept it since.” I felt sick. I tried to nervously make small talk while I saw his “glock protected” house sticker. He asked my name and I gave it, and asked what I do and I said it. I’m currently sick and was coughing a bunch, so I said I had to go but honestly it was because I felt so angry. I’ve called a nearby vet hospital and asked for advice, but I’m worried. What if someone shows up and doesn’t do anything and that makes him hurt the dog or cats more? What if they don’t show at all or they’re too late? What if they take the dog but it gets stuck in a shelter? I’m also worried about if the cops show up, they shoot the dog. I’ve seen so many stories this year alone of it happening.. I’m just scared for the safety of those animals.
