Re: What wicked, evil people there are
There is such a thing as retribution though.When I was a child of about 8 I was out for a walk with my older brother and the road was a shiny and slippery road. There was a rag and bone man with a horse and cart, which was pulling a very heavy load and the horse was valiantly trying to pull the cart up the hill, but his hooves were slipping on the road, and the horse was almost on its knees with the effort.
He hadn't been shod properly, and his hooves were making sparks on the road as he was slipping. The man was battering the horse around the head with a whip. The poor horse was terrified and our Jeff saw red. He was only little, but he jumped up, grabbed the whip off the man and lashed him with it a couple of times around his shoulders and neck.
Then our Jeff went to the front of the horse and held on to his bridle and quietly said: "come on, lad." The horse, with our Jeff's help, got to the top of the hill. Our Jeff told the man that if he ever saw him being cruel to the horse again he'd paste the life out of him. This was in the 1950s.

Many shoppers stopped and were shocked to see this poor little flea-bitten, scrawny dog which looked totally manic. Somebody threw him some boiled ham from their carrier bags and he wolfed it down.
I've never had a dog in my life but, had I the means such as a belt, piece of rope - anything to secure him - I would have taken him home with me, even though I'm scared of dogs!
When I got home I was in tears and my mum asked me what was wrong so I told her, and she said I should have brought him home, but I didn't have the means as I was on foot and at that time didn't have a car. This was around 40 years ago, but I've never forgotten that little dog and have always wondered what became of him.
all have had a good life with us.

There should be a total ban on breeding staffs. The rescue homes are full of them. They have become the 'in' thing for young lads to own and as soon as they get bored or find that it takes a bit of work to look after a dog they get discarded. Makes my blood boil and I suspect this case probably comes under that category although of course I don't know and could be wrong. Hopefully Hope will survive and find a good home somewhere eventually. There is no excuse for just abandoning an animal to die, there are plenty of places you can take it to if you cannot cope any more.

Re: What wicked, evil people there are
Poor staffie have a bad name. When they are a nice dog.It's the owners who turn them into the type of dog they become. Due to being idiots.
Its the poor dogs I feel sorry for, having to live with these idiots.
Lets hope this little dog gets a new owner, who will give her the love and affection she needs.

Mollie never have I ever seen a man who owns a horse to use for his livelihood to beat it in the 50s most had stables in allotments and the horse was always taken back fed and made comfortable before the owner went home. I can't, so how much I try to think a boy could take a whip of a grown man in those days, the men were tough and kids did as they were told. Are you sure this wasn't a dream you had?
