Mutilated USA Dog 'Hope' Passes Away

Once again severe animal cruelty news comes to light in an animal abuse story that was carried out by an individual, which was in the form of terrible neglect and abuse on a living creature, that ultimately lead to the death of this poor innocent dog named 'Hope'.
'Hope' the abused animal was found tied to a tree in the woods, not only severely emaciated, but tied up by an electrical cord (left to die, as admitted by her owner).
On further inspection it became apparent that Hope a victim of animal abuse, was nearly decapitated.
She was taken to a pound to be rescued and given medical care as her megaesophagus and trachea cord was severed.
All looked well for a while.......
A couple came in to the humane society animal shelter and adopted Hope and took her to get special care, to help a dog that was in need.
The vet carried out the emergency surgery on the abused animal and all went well.
Hope had started playing and there really was 'hope' for her future and to make a recovery.
Then sadly, her breathing got bad, so oxygen was given to her.
This was not enough and Hope passed away, 'her body just gave up on her' her adopted owner remarked.
All we can be thankful about this terrible case of cruelty to an animal is that, she is finally at peace and her owner has been charged for animal cruelty, for his terrible unforgivable sin of animal abuse and cruelty to one of the many loving animals of the USA.
We all live in hope that animal cruelty to dogs will become a thing of the past, but these stories sadly just keep coming to our attention and the need to help a dog is always there.

'Star' The Collie Cross That Was Buried Alive

The photo is heartbreaking, the facts seem surreal.

But it is only too real, it is a terrible severe act of animal cruelty.
This poor dog (named Star by her rescuers) in Malta was cruelly buried alive and if that wasn't bad enough, she sustained appalling injuries before being buried such as; 40 pellet gun shots to her head, her legs tied together with lace and her muzzle bound together with wire - shocking is an understatement.
It is clear that the twisted culprit responsible didn't want this poor dog to survive and did everything in his/her power to end this dogs life.
As if shooting the dog, bounding the dog and burying the dog wasn't evil enough, the abuser had covered the poor dog with a wooden panel and weighed it down to really seal her fate and end her life.
It emerged that the shots were from close range which backs up even more that it was a planned murder.
It saddens me that we are living among humans who have it in them to carry out such malicious harmful acts on innocent creatures.
This dog is one of the lucky ones, that was found by passing Animal Welfare Officers whom were nearby investigating another cause and by chance heard this poor dog whimpering.
But how many more animals go undetected and die a sad lonely death from abuse?

Star is lucky she survived and that the welfare officers found her, otherwise she would not be here today.

She really is brave and a true fighter, all I hope now is that she can be adopted by a family that will keep her safe, love her and for her never to feel pain like that again.
