BAINBRIDGE, GA....There is nothing I hate more than to post for an animal that was tortured while Mankind sat back and cheered and made money. That is exactly what happens daily in the Country. Our poor defenseless animals are used as BAIT so the main fighters can practice on them while they save their best energy for the matches that happen all around the World. Bait Dogs are ones that are submissive, and that will not attack the other dog. All they are trying to do is defend themselves and make the attack stop. The attack is not going to stop until the dog is either DEAD or maimed so badly, he gives up. The animals are then either shot and discarded or thrown away like Garbage. That is the World of Dog-Fighting that we have been fighting for as long as I remember.
The photos are Graphic and heart-breaking and hard to look at, but the only way we are going to stop Dog-Fighting is to look these animals in the eye and decide enough is enough and do something about it. People know people that are doing this, and they do nothing. I think the people that sit back and do nothing are as guilty as the ones that are doing it. They are allowing it to happen. I can't believe in our Society this is still going on. It just goes to show how so many people have their head in the sand and CHOOSE not to see what is right in front of them.
Domino was picked up in Bainbridge, GA, the same place we rescued another dog from that was just as torn up years ago. He was found as a stray that could barely move or hold his head up. His face is torn to pieces. Large chunks of flesh were ripped away. I would have laid down and Died right after this horrible episode but what does this sweet dog do. He WAGS his tail and is HAPPY. How is this even possible? I would be so scared the same people that allowed this to happen would be the same ones trying to help. The truth is Dogs Love Us no matter how insane and inhuman we become. I am sure Domino wanted to love the person that discarded him before he was thrown away.
Domino is at Carolina Vet Specialists in Matthews, NC in the ER where he will remain until we can get him stable. His large gaping wounds are infected, and he has necrotic tissue that is declaring itself daily. Each day, more chunks die and fall off. We can't even begin to do any major surgery to put his face back together until all of the dead tissue is off. Every day is filled with wound care to keep his body from festering with infection. We are hopeful if he is still alive that we will be able to do the first of many surgical procedures to put his sweet face back together so he can eat and be out of pain. The pain and terror Domino has endured is unimaginable, but the look in his beautiful eyes is pure Joy and Love.
For anyone that thinks this is too graphic, well, I DO NOT APOLOGIZE. We have to open our eyes up and see what is happening to Man's Best Friend. This could have been your dog that someone stole to use as Bait and the so-called Human doing it could be Your Neighbor. Do Something. Don't write me a nasty note for telling the Truth. Write your Public Officials and tell them how you feel and Demand they do something to make this STOP. Do we want people like this in our Society? The dog that was trained to do this could have very easily done this to a child. Stand-Up for the Helpless and the Hopeless. Do Not turn you back on what is right in front of you because it is not going away. It is not someone else's problem if you are aware of it.
Stop and look at the dog that was tortured so badly. His heart is far bigger than mine will ever be because he forgives the Criminals that did this and still Loves. How can you give up and euthanize a dog that is fighting to Live and Love. The rest of Domino's body has some bites but nothing like his face, neck, and forelimbs. He is healthy and happy otherwise. If he is fighting to Live and is still Happy, then I am going to do everything in my power to give him the best possible chance to Survive and Thrive. Domino is only about three years old. He has a long Life ahead, and he is going to get the chance to live it surrounded by people that will Love and Nurture him.
Domino's Medical needs are tremendous. We need every penny we can get, and we are going to need it for a while because this is going to be a long process with all of his procedures. Please, send to all of your Friends so they can also help us with him. We are going to get him well, TOGETHER. We are not going to turn our backs on this poor defenseless dog. He should have died, but he didn't. He knew someone would come along that thought he Mattered. Well, he was right, and we are not going to let him down now. PLEASE, Donate toward DOMINO'S Medical Care.
