Will You Be A Friend To Man's Best Friend?
How do you feel when you look at this picture?
Hopefully you feel sorry for this dog. I know I do.
And it makes me feel even worse to know that there are thousands of dogs just like this one - most even worse - throughout America. There are literally thousands of dogs suffering right now, while you're reading this.
There are dogs starving, dogs being beaten, dogs forced to fight each other to the death, and dogs being needlessly euthanized.
I could go on but I think you get the point. If you need proof, please watch the video below. It shows some horrible images but it's also very educational.
The things that happen to some dogs should not and can not be allowed to happen.
We need to stop it NOW!
And we have the power to do so.
Will you help?
Will you adopt a pet in need? Will you donate a couple dollars (or more) to help shelters and other organizations that come to the rescue of abused dogs and other pets? Will you volunteer just a couple hours of your time to help?Will you encourage others to donate their time and/or money?
Will you help?
Will you be a friend to man's best friend?

Dog Abuse
A video I made for a speech I had to do. It starts out all nice and cute, but then really gets disturbing. Just to give a little warning, there are some **graphic pictures**. ***As a viewer to this video you need to understand that abuse happens around the world, but can also happen in your backyard. Due to ignorant comments made about all Asians abusing/eating dog, I must inform you that mainstream Asia does not partake in those activities and has been made illegal. Although some parts of ...

A Final Plea for Those Who Can't Plead for Themselves
If they could, all they'd ask is that you do what you can...
Dogs are so faithful to their owners - that's why they've earned the nickname "Man's Best Friend". And that's why abuse against these animals is so deplorable.Our dogs will love and admire the meanest of us...
- Agnes Repplier
How true that quote is.
You know, in the video above there's that one scene where the dog is sleeping and some ruthless kid comes along and smacks him with a skateboard. The dog jumps, settles back down, and then gets smacked again.
The dog didn't attack. The dog didn't get angry or try to protect himself.
Why?
I imagine it's because the kid hitting him is part of the family who owns the dog. And if this is the case, I bet that same dog would put his life on the line to save that kid if that kid was in trouble.
I also bet that same dog once cuddled-up beside that kid in the middle of the night and made the kid feel warm and secure.
I bet the dog - and all dogs like it, really - wonders why the people he worships and loves so much choose to hurt him and neglect him.
I bet he wonders why this happens in the world.
I wonder that too.
Won't you help stop the abuse?
Donate a nickel, a dime, a dollar, or more here: Donate to ASPCA
Or, if you're willing and able, please adopt a homeless pet. There's probably a shelter in your area.

- Cruelty to Dogs is widespread happens here too. Puts a lump in your throat to read this. Good news is that there are special laws to protect Dogs and Cat in fact all animals. Spain has come a long way in a short time where cruelty here was rife.
Take care and good luck I always click at the Hunger Site for the Animals in Need its free.

- I really feel devastated when I see animals especially pet dogs suffering but this is nothing compared to what is happening here in the Philippines. Dogs are slaughtered everyday for meat! But there are people like us who's doing everything we can to save these poor animals. Have you heard of animalkingdomfoundation.org? This is our organization where we apprehend dog criminals and save those poor things. One type of local dog named Sweet was among saved is now living in Europe! In my own personal part, I show my concern and love by putting images of these dogs on my dog checks, pug checks or doberman checks. anyway, it's great to know that you love dogs as much as we love them. Thanks for sharing and thanks for caring!
