It’s getting late. Everyone’s minding their own business, settling in for the day, and making sure every task they planned is finished.
Carla Stowe was hoping for a cozy evening at home. But, hopes and dreams are just… plans!
Miss Destiny had something else for her that evening.
As Carla was locking in, she noticed her dogs were acting strangely. They were restless, ignoring her commands, and constantly trying to point to the yard.
It seemed like they wanted to tell her something.
Carla couldn’t bear another second of their behavior, so she let the dogs out and let them lead her.
What they all encountered really left them flabbergasted.
Right in their yard, in the middle of the dark, was…
What’s That Hiding In The Crate?
As the light of Carla’s flashlight illuminated the yard, she noticed something was terribly wrong.
She didn’t own a yellow crate.
She didn’t leave anything in her yard.
Someone must’ve brought it and left it there!
As the president of Baby Gunn’s Animal Rescue, from Paris, Texas, approached the box, she felt like this might be a case for her organization. She hoped and prayed it wasn’t one of those gut-wrenching cases.
Carla heard loud thumping and some noise coming from the crate, but she couldn’t figure what it was. When she flashed the light inside, behind all that duct tape placed to hold the crate shut was a pair of sad eyes looking right into Carla’s soul.
It was a dog!
“His head was down, but I could hear the constant thumping of his tail,” Stowe said.
Carla quickly cut open the tape and the ziplocks that were holding the crate shut, and the newcomer popped out.
“When I realized it was a Pitbull, my heart sank,” Stowe said.
It wasn’t the fact that someone left a dog in her yard that shocked Carla.
It was the fact that someone abandoned a dog, and left it locked in a crate, all secured with ziplocks and duct tape so he couldn’t escape!
What kind of world do we live in?
What kind of human would do this to another living being?
The poor pup had luck to end up in Carla’s yard. I can’t even imagine what would have happened to him if that monster had left him in an abandoned yard, or even worse, in a yard of someone who hates animals.
The gorgeous pup was indeed a beautiful black and white Pitbull. He was named RD and Carla took him right to Baby Gunn’s animal shelter in Paris, Texas.
Slowly, but steadily, RD was warming up to the shelter and its residents.
Once he’s ready, I’m pawsitive Baby Gunn’s will find him a loving home with someone who appreciates all dogs no matter if they’re Pitbulls or not.
According to WAF’s recent statistics, Pitbulls are one of those severely endangered breeds. PETA says they’re the world’s most abused dogs! WAF also says Pitbulls are hated by 25% of U.S. citizens.
And, that’s just too sad and too devastating.
Let’s hope and pray there are no more cases like RD’s ever again.
