It breaks my heart to hear stories about abused animals. I have 5 dogs (all rescued). My one dog was throwing up and I took him to the vet, he showed me his xray, and there are bb's in him also! He is the most loving, gentle dog, who would do that and why? My one other is a puppy mill dog with major trust issues, but all she knew for her first 4 years was kept in a cage, taken out and raped by a dog, got pregnant, gave birth, had babies taken from her, put back in a cage and raped again and so on and so on. That was her life until we got her. All animals want is love, food, water, and shelter. Why abuse them?
