Up here its illigal to hit a dog really hard & out of anger for no reason, its called animal abuse. People can go to jail for that.

I think it was a year or two ago, that these teen boys took there female German Shepard, beat her, tied a sinder block to he choak chain & tossed her into the St.Lawrance River in Brockville Ontario. I don't remember everything that happened, but if my memory serves me right they were arrested & broght to jail.

& several weeks ago a man tied his black dog to his bicyle & took it for a run on the Ottawa bike paths, the temp. was over 40C, the dog died of heat stroke, & the man was charged with animal crulety.

All ur friend has to do is call "Crime Stoppers", or is it only a canadian thing? Well if its not & u can call them, ur friend doesn't have to give out her name, all she has to say is that she saw "so & so" beat the dog & he'll be dealt with.

From my exp. Councelling doesn't work, it made things worse, for me & my sister anyways. Punishment has always worked, in my eyes anyway.

Try the Crime Stoppers if u can

Its a great Org. out here & it protects ur name & everything.

I hope that savage beating didn't ruin the poor dog.
