Bless your heart Poor Smokey! It almost sounds like he was used more for bait to train fighting dogs. Bait dogs usually won't be aggressive, just timid and scared, because they're just beat up on all the time by the dogs being trained until they are killed Sounds like he's in a much better place!! Bless you for rescuing him!! Be sure to keep us posted on his progress.

I totally agree with you guys. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels such a displeasure against my own human race...but when I look at all the trouble people cause...it really makes me mad sometimes! Especially since it's people's carelessness that causes stray/feral problems, the destruction of what little forest land we have left, people treating the earth as their 'garbage can' in general, people killing people...
There is a phrase from a movie, I can't remember which...that describes people so well....They're like locusts...consuming every natural resource until it's gone...then moving on. Too bad this rings so true
Then I look at animals...there is so much to be learned from them. I wish more people could see that. It is nice, however that I have found such good people at this site, and it's really nice to know that there is goodness and caring out there...**hugs** to all the wonderful people of Pet Talk!!
