Our heart goes out to all those dogs who have been abused. When we talk about abuse, there are really many different forms. There are people who commit abuse against their pets by denying them the medical service they need. Many owners believe that they are not obligated to do so. If the dog were in the wild, he or she would have to fend for itself.
What many people don’t consider, is that anytime dogs get sick, it’s usually because of the things we feed them. And I’m not talking about dog food. Many people feed them sugary treats. This is very harmful to a dog in many ways. For starters, the dog’s teeth get damaged very fast. No dog would eat that amount of sugar in one day or in one meal. Sugary things are bad for us, imagine for a dog.
There are other people who abuse their dog by neglecting him. As all forms of abuse, they usually start very slightly. One meal missed here and there can turn into a missed day of meals every other day. This often leads to the dog getting weaker and becoming more prone to diseases. We all know that this will eventually lead to the pet needing medical attention.
This is where many irresponsible and abusive owners decide to dump their dogs. What they are doing is evil. They are not only dumping them, but they are doing so when they are the most vulnerable. Some of them get so sick that they cannot even move. They stop eating until they pass away. That’s a very sad ending for any living being.
One day, a man is driving his car in Québec. He then sees what looks like a big pile of trash on the side of the road. The weird thing is that this pile of trash starts moving. He decides to look to see what it is. Upon trying to get a closer look he sees what looks like a nose and one eye. It is some sort of animal that he can’t tell what it is. He carefully picks up the animal which turns out to be a dog. He takes him to the Quebec Society for the Protection of Animals.
Even the staff at the society is shocked when seeing him. His fur is completely matted. He has so much of it that about 50% of his size is comprised of matted fur. It gets so heavy for him that it starts to pull on the dog skin. That makes walking especially painful. The Quebec Society for the Protection of Animals is very concerned. They appoint only the best of their staff to take care of him. What is hiding under all that mattered fur is a lovely dog you will be dying to meet.
