Black Pearl | from the Adoptable Pets photo pool

To whoever owned this dog: How could you sit in your nice warm house, probably stuffing your mouth with chips and beer, while this poor girl sat outside in the cold without anything to eat??? How you could look in those big soft brown eyes and still neglect and probably abuse her - to the point that she now can't trust any person, and sits in the corner of her cold cage at the shelter and growls even when spoken to with kindness? I'm guessing that you probably haven't even noticed that she's missing yet - why would you? You obviously never spent any time with her before. But I hope you are satisfied... your poor sweet, abused and neglected dog is now being taken care of by other people, but the cold, hard, and very sad fact is that she probably doesn't stand a chance of finding a loving home (like she so needs and deserves) - most people won't take a chance with her - not when she is so fearful and growls... especially when there are cute fuzzy little puppies, also needing a home, right in the next cage. More than likely, this girl will end up being euthanized. The only blessing is that she at least won't be suffering because of you any longer.

To all my friends - I know I said that I would be around more, but life is still pretty hectic here. More goat babies, and a new foster dog to take care of... but I promise, one of these days things will settle down and I'll be back on flickr regularly! I went to the shelter today to take photos of the dogs for their website, and met this poor pathetic girl, and I just had to post her photo on flickr. I feel so badly for her, and I can't get her out of my mind!
