The people who did that to the dog should be tied up and wait for the hurricane to swallow them. Good grief, I can't stand humanity sometimes.

We had four hurricanes hit Florida in 2004. Three hit Central Florida. People were hurting, but we knew they were being taken of because we were. We also knew the pets who ended up at the animal shelter or pets of owners whose homes were severely damaged needed food. We bought bags of food and took it to the shelter. One of the workers told me they found a pitiful dog who was tied and left outside it’s home during hurricane Charley which gave our area 74 plus mph winds. No shelter for it. Just left outside. That was 20 years ago and it still makes me choke up. 😢 I truly hope God will make the soulless creatures who do things such as this pay a special penalty.

great job by those officers

I hope the dog has an ID tag or has been chipped so the proper authorities can find the morons who abandoned this poor dog and then put them in jail.

reply

Good point, it can likely be traced back to the cruel owners just when neighborhood people see this video and recognize the animal.

The heartless bastards should pay.

Now this is really,"riding the storm out!" A story to tell his grand kids. https://www.today.com/news/cooler-rescue-hurricane-milton-coast-guard-rcna175079

I saw that and fuck the people who tied that dog up that most likely would've died had it not been for the Police discovering he or she

And, this was BEFORE Milton made landfall. First responders aren’t on the roads if winds are over 40 mph. This pitiful dog would have died. My description of those who do these things is right on. They are soulless creatures who believe they are human! 👹 Also, half of Florida had over 200 tornadoes spawned by Milton’s outer bands. People who thought they were safe from Milton were killed by tornadoes. Those outer bands can extend for miles.

Omg that's awful about the dog. It's so far back he was lucky someone saw him. And in a belly high puddle too. Hope his ex - owners are found - bring back the town hall stocks for scum like these 🤬

Here is an update. The dog that was saved is now named Trooper after the highway patrol trooper who saved him. Trooper is doing well and hundreds of people have volunteered to adopt him so I'm sure he will find a new home soon. Unfortunately there is no update about the people who abandoned this poor dog. They belong in jail.

Anyway, here is a photo of Trooper and he looks great and happy!

I don’t believe our penalties for “Cruelty To Animals” laws are strict enough. I like your suggestion: “town hall stocks”. 👏🏻👏🏻

It reminds me of what happened with our first "big dog," Aspen. She was an Alaskan Malamute (imagine a large Husky) that was owned by a guy who was getting married, and his fiance's new apartment didn't allow for dogs, so he was trying to find new owners for her. Before my family adopted her (this was back when I was 11), her previous owner actually told us a horrifying story about his first attempt to re-home her.

He had given her to some ranchers out in the country who claimed they would take care of her. Aspen's first owner then came by a while later to see how she was doing, and he was driving along the road to the ranch, and found poor Aspen tied to a stake in the middle of a field, with no food or water, being bitten by flies on her ears. Her first owner was absolutely horrified at this. He didn't even confront the ranchers about it. He just untied her from the stake, put her in the car, took her back to his place, and nursed her back to health.

We can only assume, based on the clues Aspen and her previous owners gave, as to what happened. The stupid ranchers must have assumed that she was a herding dog, and found out she was absolutely not the kind of dog you use for that activity, had a hard time handling her because they had probably never dealt with a sled dog before, and got fed up and decided to try and kill her by staking her. So they were apparently stupid, heartless people. We also think they abused her by hitting her with a fly-swatter, because every time I got one out to kill flies in the house, poor Aspen would run for the hills. She was also terrified of thunderstorms, indicating that she might have been stuck out in one while staked, poor sweetie. We had to treat her ears as well as for heartworm, due to her being left out to the mercy of the flies and mosquitoes while tied to that stake.

I've heard of some cruel, heartless people at times, but it takes a real soulless monster to do what those ranchers tried to do to Aspen.

God gave us dominion over the animals, but we also were to care for them. It’s unbelievable what occurs to some of God’s innocent creatures. We always hear about “Man’s inhumanity to man”, I believe we should take it farther…Man’s inhumanity to other living creatures. What do we lose by being more humane? We don’t lose a damn thing! WE GAIN!

reply

Well, thanks to my family's efforts, Aspen lived seven long, happy years with us :) And she taught us much about how to handle sled dogs, as well as alpha dogs. After we had her, every sled-dog we owned afterwards was "easier" by comparison. I still think of her after all these years.
