Magical Merlin

[momcat]

Hi, everyone! There was just a story on our local news about a little dog in Cumberland County New Jersey who was viciously attacked with a machete by his owner. The pooch got two very bad cuts on his head. The owner said he did it because the dog tried to bite him. Other family members said this dog wouldn't bite anyone. The dog was taken to a vet who treated him and stitched up his injuries. He came through all of this so well, they changed his name to Merlin. Merlin is now in the custody of the Cumberland County SPCA and will NOT be returned to the family! (YES!!!). The vet anticipates that Merlin will recover completely. In the film clip, he was happlily playing with a rep of the SPCA. The owner is currently in jail and is being charged with animal cruelty, bail has been set at $25,000. May the judge throw every book in the library at him!!! Merlin is up for adoption so if you or someone you know might be interested in offering Merlin a furever home filled with the love and care he so richly deserves, you can contact nbc10.com for further information. I'd like to ask all of you to join me in praying that this scrappy little survivor finds a home where he will be loved, cared for, and happy for the rest of his life.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!! HOW CAN THEY BE SO CRUEL TO ANIMALS!! I am glad that the owner is being punished, but I sincerely hope that the little dog will find a home where it will be treated good! I'm in NH so I am no help, but he will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Thank you both so very much for your prayers and support. No doubt that's what Merlin would say if he could talk human or catspeak.....
