Oh

My

Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is that dog alive?!?! She is obviously and angel on earth. God Bless her and my prayers are with her. There is nothing else I can say.....

[zippy-kat]

That poor, poor baby! It is truly a miracle that she is alive.

I hope she is able to live the rest of her life as a pampered pup.

Oh that poor baby!! When I looked at that site it brought chills down my spine. I cannot believe that she is alive. I hope and pray that the she makes it through ok. No animal deserves that kind of treatment. How sad.

[Daisy's Mom]

Oh my goodness!!! Hope is the perfect name for that poor little angel. I pray she gets adopted soon and taken care of the way she deserves. I hope she can overcome all of her problems and be truly loved. What a sad story, what a frighteningly skinny body, and yet what a pretty face.

Poor baby! I'm glad that she is now under the protection of people who care.

I just called and left a message to see if there is anything Mike and I can do to help this poor baby. As you know, we can't turn down any dog and we would surely take her if they needed us to. I wish the same fate on the stupid people who dumped her. I'm sorry I know that is harsh but I get unbelieavably angry when I see how cruel people can be to their pets who give them nothing but unconditional love even when treated the way Hope was obviously treated.

That picture is a shock to look at. Hard to beleive that she is alive and standing. Thank god for who ever found her and got her help. Somethilng to be learned for humans also is - the will that dog had to survive is not to give up hope on anything.
I will pray for this sweet dog. I also hope that who ever left her behind will see this picture & think about it everday and carry that burdon.

That broke me.


She brings Hope to us all. What an angel. She is obviously destined to bring love to someone on this planet.

Yes, when I saw it, I couldn't believe she was still alive. I wonder if she was dumped or got lost? She'll probably still have medical problems because of her extreme low weight. I pray for this poor furkid. I hope she finds a wonderful forever home!

What a poor angel. It makes you wonder if they should have billboards around the country with her picture and a message to show people that when they dump their dogs, it is not more humane than taking them to the humane society and that starvation is not pretty. And that dogs that are dumped rarely are picked up by people.

What a shocking picture. It brings back so many memories. My stray was almost that bad when I found her a little over a year ago. She had long hair so it was hard to see from a distance how starved she was but once you felt her, you could tell. It's so frustrating knowing that there are so many more out there that will not make it to a shelter or who will not be picked up. I wish there was a way of finding the owners and giving them what they deserve.

I talked to Julie at the rescue last night on the phone and she may be joining the forum. She said that Hope should weigh about 50 pounds and she weighed 29 when she came in and then lost 2 pounds. She is doing much better and takes insulin twice a day and must be fed 3 times a day. Julie walks her every day and she said that Hope learned the route in 4 days and has it totally memorized. They pretty much have the diabetes under control now it's just getting weight on her.

My Vet told me not to feed my dog puppy food, to feed her regular dog food and keep it down at all times for her because she had to build her stomach up again. Her body wasn't used to food and he said to let her ease into it herself. She only weighed 40 and should have weighed 85. Patience, fortunately, didn't have any medical problems like poor Hope does.
