Dog found in trash bag - Survives

Basenji Rescue

  • Oh, heavens, this photo brought tears.
    Shame on the humans who did this…shame!


  • Fran,
    Watch the video. It brought tears of joy for the spirit of this pup. Bless the folks who helped this poor boy.


  • So happy he is pulling through. There is a PayPal donation set up on his Facebook page. =)


  • @DebraDownSouth:

    New reports on the dog show it is improving, not dead, Fran.

    Ohhhhh…. I guess I just looked at the picture and thought that if an animal looked like that it HAD to be dead. Not sure if I can open the video - my heart just does not take well to stuff like that. When they show SPCA or animal shelter commercials on TV I usually change the channel. But I don't ignore animal shelters. We donate every year.

    Fran,

    Sharron, I am like Andrea. I just cannot look at pictures like this. I'm so happy the video shows improvement, but I still can't watch it. I guess I am a wuss when it comes to animals.


  • @Kipawa:

    I guess I am a wuss when it comes to animals.

    Yes, you are :p


  • From the picture, I thought the baby was dead, too. How could someone…why would someone...? I just will never understand...

    Blessings on this baby and his rescuer. The ba$tid who did this will get his/her comeuppance someday.


  • Those eyes are gorgeous. I wish he was closer to me so I could help. I hope he makes a full recovery.

    Hugs to Patrick :)


  • It's really good to know that he is being helped and now hopefully will recover. Bless him, the poor dog. Humans can sink to some terrible depths.


  • My first thought: Are you $@#&*$% kidding me?!? What kind of a &#&$% !?$@# would do such a @%$ thing?!? If I could get my hands on this &@#$!? %^(@# )%!!?$ %#$@, I'd show 'em what a &#(% garbage bag is for and exactly how many orifices one #%@!& bag could simultaneously fit in!!

    Some people are despicable!

    Second thought: This is one amazing pup. The resilience of life never ceases to stun me.


  • I can't watch the videos either, only TRIED that one cause I already saw pics on face book and knew he was doing better. My heart just cant take things like that.


  • @Schouiffy:

    So happy he is pulling through. There is a PayPal donation set up on his Facebook page. =)

    Since I can't watch the video, can someone tell me what his name is on Facebook? I'd like to send a few dollars - anything that could help.


  • First Basenji's

    The abuser has been located and named, and charged with several accounts of animal abuse and neglect. It's appalling to me that she could be sentenced to a maximum of 6 months in jail, up to $1000 fine, and/or community service. Even the reward that was being offered for information about her far exceeded that fine! And somehow, I find it hard to believe that jail time will be either sentenced or enforced, given precedent in animal abuse cases…


  • I love that little face. Patrick may you forever have the best life can give to you. So happy your alive I could not bring myself to watch the video I was all really with tears just seeing you there so lifeless. Love you Patrick.

  • what a cutie!!


  • For those that haven't watched the video, I decided to watch it this morning knowing he is doing so well. The video actually doesn't have graphic photos of him prioir to being rescued so it is not as disturbing as I thought.
    However there is a second video on the site showing his progress over the past month, and it specifically addresses sending money. Seems people are profiting and not necessarily Patick is the one getting the benefit. They gave specific instruction for donations if you want to make sure it goes to the group that rescued Patrick. Sounds as if a donation in his name to your favorite shelter might be better spent, just my opinion from watching what the group says is happening with the donations and how much they already have.

  • Which video Therese, re the donations?

    However, I do agree. He has gotten funds all over and so many other emergency ones needing help. My funds are limited, so I donate time/transport/foster to Brat and a few bucks here and there to a NY Chow rescue that is truly a miracle place.


  • OMG. I just saw this and was horrified. I think AJ's Human said it best when he said (()(#$(@_(_@ human.

    Yes, our 2 'pretty' cats are exactly that. They like to be touched when THEY like to be touched, cuddle when THEY want to cuddle and if it isn't on their time then you my as well forget they exist! They are beautiful cats and you just want to scoop them up and love on them but they hate it! Lol

    Thanks Sharron. I'm passing this on to my friends that have fostered outside our breed.

    HOORAY!!! So glad to hear that you have Pearl back safe and sound! I second the thought though, change locks and get a restraining order - and don't leave little Pearl outside unsupervised… Terry

    I like the "Pet takes Meds" comment. Very good idea.

    @youngandtired: I was wondering if that girl that was on the forum that lost her B ever found him. Her mother had the dog and it got loose, she was so sad about it. Does anyone know? She posted about a week ago (maybe two) that he hasn't been found yet
