Thank God that you found him in time. Yet I believe that someone else always knows that an animal is being abused but they don't want to come forward and "make trouble". My children were raised to never walk away. Do something-anything, but don't walk away. They are still like that as adults and still love animals. They were raised with a Springer Spaniel we named Rufus who was wonderful with them. Rufus has been gone for 30 years now and we still choke up when we remember him. He showed up one day and we fostered him until his owners could be found but no one ever did-within a few days we were praying they never would. His collar and tags are sacred family keepsakes. A Springer is an amazing experience. In recent years pet abuse has become increasingly used by woman abusers as a way of controlling them and children. The abuser demonstrates the violence on the pet, usually dogs or cats too, to frighten the family. The woman and children keep the secret and live in fear as the violence escalates and have to watch the abuser finally kill the pet or the woman can't run away and leave the pets with the abuser. The Domestic Violence Shelter here will take in the pets and fosters step in for as long as needed. I would like to see some of the rescue groups ally themselves with Dom. Violence Facilities and make it known to women that they do have a place to go and leaving isn't a death sentence to a pet who helped her tolerate her life. I know this is pretty grim but Lucky's story is too. Sentences instead of wrist slaps please. Did the person who did this to Lucky get charged with animal abuse? Is he a heavy drinker? Not unusual. I hope Lucky will live a long and pain free life with you. Beth Sindler Lucky’s eyes tell the whole story. Thank God that you found him in time.
