So I come back, not twenty minutes from leaving my bedroom (& Bear on Skype) to have dinner, to find out we’ve got a dog. Yes, I’ve been gone how long & Bear has a dog. Technically it wasn’t as easy as that but oh my god, there’s a dog in my house!
Apparently Bear was headed home down an alley, when he admired the dog of a passer by who evidently didn’t want him anymore.
This poor soul has evidently been through the mill & it looks like he’s been in a few dog fights too. He has a good amount of wounds all over him. It breaks my heart. The poor fellow has an actual hole in his ear. He’s been so mistreated it makes me feel ashamed to be human. What these people have done to him is abhorrent, I’m disgusted.
On that note, I’ll tell you it’s an America Pit bull (Terrier maybe?). I don’t know about over there but Pit Bulls have a pretty bad rap in the UK. A lot of it is sensationalism but it doesn’t stop me from being nervous. I have known the breed & haven’t had any bad encounters but needless to say I’m a little concerned. He seems very kind natured & obedient from what we’ve seen so far, but it’s just not the as knowing your dog & bringing him up from a puppy is it.
But either way, Bear wasn’t about to let this guy hand him over to the pound. He’s at least going to get a chance at having a loving home – it’s probably not going to be permanent with us but like I said there wasn’t a snowballs chance in hell of him being abandoned again. Just to get him out of that bastards possession is enough for me.
Funny thing is, he’s massive but he’s scared of Rocky. I would be too mind you but there you go. Little does he know of the evil that lurks under the bed. She who growls so loud I can hear her through Bears microphone ten feet away.
I’m so glad I’m not there, otherwise we’d be keeping him for sure. He just needs some TLC, a whole lot of feedin’ & a trip to the Vets asap!!
I wish I could post some photo’s but unfortunately, I’m not there, as you know – & I have the camera (& Bear’s web-cam sucks).
However, I’ll be sure to keep you updated!
Aw poor thing! It’s terrible how some people treat animals. I’d have done the same as Bear. I do agree about pit bulls though. It’s not their fault they are bred that way, but I just don’t really trust them. I hope you can find him a good home if you decide not to keep him.
