    I probably would have knocked the dirtbag off his bike, dragged him and kept the dog. What a POS!!!

    where were u then lol i needed help

    Ohhh Gina, how I wish I was there! I have 3 Pits and can't even imagine how someone can punch theirs in the face. It really sickens me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed you can find that poor dog, but don't confront this lunatic alone. He sounds like a nut job.

    Gina! Oh my hell, that's absolutely disgusting and terrible. What a low life scumbag. Makes me wanna beat him up or hide under my blankets and cry because humanity can be awful. HOWEVER I am reminded its not because there are warriors like you and 'other dude' who stepped in and did your best to save the dog. Don't feel like you failed because you did what you could. The guy is obviously a really shady and deranged character and you both could have been really hurt which helps no one. . Of course Pit bull mama (Haley) has fabulous advice so take it. Ewwwwww, makes me so mad. Just EW!



    thanks love i know if i see him i am not going to go up to him. i never thought anyone could hurt a dog like that....i been sick over it. I will do what haley says. So last night i did a search on my computer, looking up lost dogs in that area....or dogs for sale. i didnt find any puppies for sale. but what i did find was a lost pit that looks just like the one i saw. And the people left there address and number and it was right where i saw this SOB. the problem is...this dog was a girl and the one who is lost was a boy. but still i thought it was weird, and that dog that was lost has been missing for over ten mths, and at the time he was 3mths when he went missing. So i called the number and no one answered but I have to be smart about it, cause what if its that guy. So I just said have you found your dog. left my number and if they call back i am just going to say I saw a dog, with out giving details. I am going to do some detective work lol. maybe drive by the house. I wouldnt go up to this guy even if I had my bf with me. So I am just going to try everyday to look for the dog. Also I forgot to mention that day this happen, the guy that helped me was like I noticed your pit sticker on the car, when I saw that I knew I was in good hands lol.

    thank you...I wish you were here to...lol I love all dogs. But after being a pit owner, my next dog will be a pit. i love the breed they get such a bad rap. I had my pit for 3 years and my ex bf took the dog and moved to Vegas with him. I tried getting him back but even though my ex was a *kitten*, he did treat the dog good so I didnt want to fight over the dog. The dog would be 9 today. Last time I heard the dog was good. But every year on his birthday i will have a cake or a cupcake and a candle on it for his birthday lol. No party or anything I just acknowledge it. Anyway his name was Chevy Chase lol....Before him I never thought to get a pit I always wanted a small dog.....and then when I adopted Chevy he made me love the breed and I learned so much from him. And how people treated me when I walked him etc. I will always save or adopt my next dog, no matter the breed..... but i prefer a pit....cause at the shelters there 90% pitbulls there.

    thanks again I will give u guys a update later...i am going back to bed its 6:20 in ny here!

    I hope you find her soon!

    Last night the cutest sweetest female pittie came over here, with her little sheep dog friend. the pit was scared up nose to tail, with fresh cut covering her chest. they were running around without collars, but i knew where the sheep dog lived (just a few houses down) she often comes to play with Alpha. I gave them food and water and was able to get leashes on both of them. got them in the house (put them in our dog kennels) with hubby went to ask the owner of the sheep dog if he also owned the pittie. he didnt answer so doug went to ask the neighbor, they told him this dirtbag beats the pit daily right in his front yard! i cant believe his neighbors just let him do this with out calling the cops! or taking the dog! they also said that he will put both dogs in too small kennels for a week at a time with no food or water, and just let them poddy in their kennels and make them sit in it! i was sick too my stomach. we called the sheriff who of course said we would either have to keep them till monday so animal control could come get them (which is considered to be dog theft and WE could go to jail) or to take them to the animal control weekend drop box. so we did that. i waa heart broken to see them go.
    the animal control ladies said that if he comes looking for them there they run his name if he has two strikes he doesnt get them back, because this would be his 3rd strike. if he doesnt then they have to give the dogs back to him. i so hope he cant get them back. but next week im going to be walking alpha past his house everyday to see if they are back. and ill find away to get them taken away again.
    wish i could adopt them but sadly we have too much going on with our 3 dogs and the baby. we dont have the money or room for them. but im glad they are safe for the weekend at least.
    they also said that if he doesnt get them back i can come down and play with them if i want to, so i will be doing that. the pittie loved playing fetch.

    Haley

    When u told me this today I was sick for you there so close to u and you cant help them. I hope some one can adopt them soon.

    UPDATE: So I was out with my mom today...and even thou i am 32 years old she was like please i beg u not to look for this dirt bag, u can get killed. I told her i promise to be careful but when i believe in something or a cause nothing will change my mind. She also couldn't believe that i went running out of my car to defend a stranger and a dog and get in a guys face. I told her think of all the people who drive by or hear things all the time and do nothing....and u find out they got killed etc....U need people like me and that stranger....if you were getting attacked and screaming and people drove right by u wouldn't u want them to stop. And shes like yea.....

    SO..... I went searching for the dog today, for 2 hrs....i think my neighborhood is getting creep out by all my drive by's and quick u turns when i see someone walking a dog lol. I know hes local cause the 2 times i saw him he was at the same street corner. So on my search for the dog I am driving and this mixed brown lab comes running in front of my car and just lays down and i am in the car just looking at this dog all skinny no tags no collar and he looks at me...still in front of the car stands up and starts moving his nose up and to the side. I am like what is this dog doing it. i park my car and a block away the dog brings me to a house and to a fence on the side, and the fence was broken and there were ways the dog can go in and out. So the dog goes thru the fence and comes right out. then it starts to takes his nose and pushed me barking and then ran across the street and lays down at someone door step. I go ring the bell and these kids answer and were like hey destiny, I am like is this your dog....there like no he lives across the street. He escapes thru the broken fence and we feed him and he then goes home...sometimes he stays here. I am like where are the owners.... they said they r never home and they have two other dogs. And the kids were like usually all 3 come over they stick together and then go home. I am like should i call someone and then there mom comes to the door and shes like nope there in greats hands over here and we are prob going to end up taking all 3 anyway...I am like should we fix the fence she like nope not until there home with us. Cause these dogs get out thru a basement window from the house into the yard. I am like thats crazy. I am like did you tell the owners u want them, she said they were like whatever keep them they do nothing but bark and make a mess. I am like why not take them now, and she like you know what your right and as soon as she said that destiny ran over there and came back 10mins later with the other 2 dogs. I was like WTF. shes like yep the dog is so smart and the other two follow him. Smart he brought me to his house and then to u guys. This family was perfect she showed me the garage she had beds for them and toys and a big backyard. I might have not found the dog today but i guess i helped Destiny to her true owners......ALSO DESTINY IS THE DOGS NAME!!!!! FREAKY lol

    im crying so happy that those dogs are now where they belong in a great home. what nice people!
    ha its true ALL the lost dogs in my town come to my house. ive had about 8 different dogs find their way here. its like they know they will get food, water, a nice bed, play fetch with me, play with Alpha and Layla until their parents can come get them. ive actually had the same little pit come here 4 times to play with alpha the last time when i got the owners on the phone they said "i guess he just likes hanging with your dog" and he ended up hanging here all day while his owners were at work. they were finally able to fix their fence so now he never gets out, so i havent seen him for about 3 months :(

    Gina you are amazing!!!!!!!! I'm SO glad that family is going to take those dogs. I hope you can find the scumbag who was punching his dog. What a disgusting piece of human garbage. I have a female pit bull and I love her to death! I'd kill someone if they ever punched her. I hate people who abuse animals. There is a special place in hell for them! Please keep me updated on your search.

    YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!

    Video tape it and call the humane society, they have the right t remove the animal from the owner on terms of neglect or abuse. I don't think the cops are able to help.

    So today's update no sign of her I been looking up lost pets or dogs for sale in the area and such luck, i had a lead but it went cold, i feel like this guy went into hiding but i remb his face and that dog. I will find her.

    A few years ago I was driving home from my dads and i was on the highway but i was on the exit ramp and in the corner of my eye i saw a dog following a homeless guy in a parking lot. So I turned around I was with my ex bf at the time and i pulled into the parking lot and got out. It was a very sketchy area but it was light out and i was with someone. It was a rest stop and these guys from the phone company were like is that your dog....i am like no. They go we been trying to catch it for 2 hours. And I go I will get him...they were laughing and saying your not going to catch him, hes nasty and nipped my friend...we had treats and it ran away from us. I go ok i will be back with the dog in ten mins. I told my Ex bf at the time follow me with the car.....The dog was a miniature chihuahua and a mix of doberman pinscher....so i follow the dog it ran from me and barked and i just sat down and it jumped in my lap...my face was priceless, I couldnt wait to walk back and show those guys what a little 5 feet girl could do. I walk back the dog is licking my face and they were speechless they said that was like 2 mins how did u do that, i said i must have a gift...and got in the car.

    I went home and began my search..no chip....not missing...I had him for a week. I couldnt keep him and i had a appt with a non kill shelter to take him. I was like I have to find this dog a home. I went online and read this family blog I thought I had found there dog but there dog was female. It said on forth of july there dog Darby ran out of the house cause they had people coming in and out. They were sooooo heartbroken they made a site for her cause they swore they would never give up on her...they hired pet detectives...it was 2 years of looking for her. They werent giving up but they started to give up hope...and starting to go to shelters and other places to adopt another dog. And the kill shelters were like we cant give u another dog u lost one already...i couldnt believe what i was reading. So I called the number and said hi i dont have your dog but i have a dog that looks just like your dog it could be its twin. I texted them pics, they called me back in seconds there like we want him....It was a family of 4 two girls...they were crying and saying can we meet him. So we meet in a public place and i am thinking I hope this family is ok and we pull up....the dog ran to them and was soooo happy. This family was like we didnt know who we were going to meet either. I swear the father and mother were sobbing they said it was as if there dog came back in a diff form. They saw other dogs just like her and felt nothing. They said they truly believe it was a sign from there other dog. A week later they called me and said hes new name was Brady...they Took Darby and mixed the letters around. The vet said he was a puppy and very well taken care of....so i did research in that area....there was a run down house breeding dogs and selling the same breed and he must have gotten away. Every Holiday they text me pics with the dog and tell me that I am there guardian angel that came to them....and that they pray for me and everyone in there life knows about me. I never been so touched in my life.

    Wouldn't trust US police with anything to do with animals...they don't seem to have much compassion.......there are so many instances of them shooting dogs...one time because it was a homeless guy and the dog was barking...and several times recently there have been reports that they have gone into peoples yards and shot a dog for no apparent reason...
    Try an animal shelter type place if you have any in the area.....

    You need to find some people who do Pit rescue.

    Neither the police nor the SPCA will actually help. In most of the US the standard for animal treatment are insane. Locally we had a case where someone almost starved a dog and a chain had grown into it's neck...a judge gave the dog back because the family had kids and the family was found to be starving the dog again.

    Check around and find some local people who do pit rescue. If the dog is left unattended they may be willing to "pitnap" the dog and take it somewhere safe.

    Happy things are going at least a little better.

    the puppies we took to animal control over the weekend just went back to their "home" but in the morning a neighbor is calling to basically yell at animal control like how the hell could they just send them back
