Duct-taped Dog Found in Garbage

Lucky looks like he's making a great recovery and has a good chance of adoption, which is great!
 
The #&^@$#!@@# who did this, however, should burn in hell.
 
 

OMG! I'm actually to angry to cry! [sm=angry.gif]

Hell is too GOOD for this sort of scum. Perhaps we should handcuff him/her and toss him/her into a lion preserve. 

Let's hope this piece of garbage gets his.  (Warning: there is a picture of Lucky as he was found in the garbage.  It will break your heart.)

I do as well -- but I'm SO encouraged to hear that the public outcry is so great.  The article made the comment that Lucky's whole situation has "raised public awareness" -- that's a fantastic thing. 
 
I hope whoever adopts Lucky allows him to continue to help people -- this dog apparently still has a sweet, happy disposition -- he'd make a marvelous therapy dog.  At the very least, allowing a dog like that to visit schools, scout troops, etc. -- to help kids learn about 'right' and 'wrong'. 
 
When dogs are seen as just property, rather than sentient, feeling beings -- when people just think dogs "belong" outside and not inside ... it is easy to emotionally withdraw from them and find them not important. 
 
I think the most important statement was from the vet when Dr. Osbourne commented that Lucky had the 'will to live" to keep HIMSELF alive until someone found him.  He WANTED to live.  That's a powerful statement. 
 
it's a powerful statement that can ring deeply in the hearts of people who have been depressed, scared, or just plain had rough times.  When you see a dog survive such a horrible ordeal because it HAS THE WILL TO LIVE -- that becomes a wonderful thing.  A wonderful encouragement to others. 
 
You GO Lucky!!  Show them all what loving life can *do* for you1!
