Giant Dog Who Lived In A Crate For 6 Years Freaks Out Over Her First Cheeseburger | The Dodo

Angelica spent 6 years living in a crate next to her friend, Spud. When the two were finally rescued, they were overjoyed and so grateful for their rescuers. The two were fostered and adopted in separate places, then months later, were reunited to see how healthy and happy they had become.

It’s horrific to think about an animal being kept in that condition for a week. 6 years is simply unconscionable. There really should be consequences for such abusive mistreatment

[@Sweetlyfe]

As horrific as it is for the animal I think it’s often animal hoarders with serious mental health issues, that start off wanting to save the animals and then they breed, and the hoarding gets out of hand and in the end they have unintentionally become the abusers, but it’s so awful to think of an animal living like that for 6yrs let alone the one’s that don’t make it. They usually ban them from having any animals, but services should step in a lot faster, or they are a puppy mill. So sad, but really wonderful to see such a happy ending, and the Dog choosing it’s new family. I’m on my 4th adopted adult dog my last a German Shepherd was 6yrs and a puppy mill when I got her she lived until she was 18 still getting in and out my car, she would jump and I would lift her back legs in we had a natural rhythm, she went down Hill the last 2 weeks. 5 months later I got my Bull Arab boy he was 9yrs & 4 months had him 2yrs now and he is my shadow and I’m his, he has been the easiest of my all my dog’s he loves everyone, is great with kids, men, women, old young, other dog’s and I managed to train him to leave cat’s alone so we could house sit for a friend who he gets on well with their dog, and then one of the twins wanted an adult cat, which happened to get on well with their dog, and last time we stayed the Cat even walked under my dog’s face(he looked a little stricken 😂) and then she slept on the other side of the bed too, he lets rabbits walk past him and the bird’s big and small where we live on acerage in the bush. I couldn’t have done the last 2yrs alone without a dog, as I had planned to travel for 6 months in April 2020 but couldn’t obviously, so got my best friend instead, feel so blessed to have him, though I do think our previous dog’s help find the dog you need.

My wife and I adopted a 9 year old Maltese, who had be neglected his whole life...mainly kept in a small travel size kennel! He had many internal problems, mainly his kidneys! We had lost our last Bichon Frise about a year earlier, and we both fell in love with little boy! He barely weighed 5 lbs when I took him to our vet, and he told me what to feed him to help him gain some weight! He was the sweetest little fella, and he learned the first day how to use the doggy door, he enjoyed a small dinner and he discovered our king size bed, where he loved to get in between the pillows and sleep. He was such a happy dog...going on walks....playing with the little boy next door...and just being loved! He did finally get up to right at 10 lbs...but my vet told me his kidneys still weren't normal! To make a long story short, after almost 2 years, his liver and kidney shut down...so we had to put him to sleep. I held him while the vet gave him his first shot...and as tears rolled down my cheek, he raised his head up and licked the tears off my face. Even the vet and his assistant started crying... I still miss him, almost 4 years later. But I miss all of my dogs...they were all so different, but all so loving!

The ONLY way to change the laws that allowed this disgusting cruelty is to enact legislation to protect food animals from abuse. We CANNOT do that so long as the food industry is allowed to commit unspeakable horrors on food animals. This industry will buy off politicians (probably YOURS too) to make sure that animal cruelty laws are so lax that keeping an animal in these revolting conditions is legally permissable. Find out if your legislators are on the take and DEMAND action on REAL animal cruelty laws thta don't let Big Agribusiness off the hook.

It's incredible, the range of human beings there are out there. There are people who'd shut dogs in cages for their entire lives, forcing them to live in their own filth, and then there's people who devote their lives to saving as many animals as they can with little pay or recognition and endless hard work. Even more terrifying is that when I go about my day, I have no idea which of the many people I pass is the former type, and which the latter. I could walk past dozens of people in a week who'd treat other animals horrendously - and maybe humans too, if they had the chance - and not know it. I feel so incredibly sad for the animals, children and vulnerable people who have the misfortune to cross paths with these monsters.

I feel the EXACT same way. Several years ago, I pulled up to the same stop sign that I stop at every day on my way home. I saw something in the road beside my car out of the corner of my eye. As I looked closer, my brain couldn't comprehend. I saw colored fur in among the shreds of a plastic bag that had been pulverized by tires. Colors that could only come from a calico cat. Then I saw tiny kitten feet here & there. I was devastated & couldn't believe anyone could be so cruel. I glared at everyone I passed, in cars or in the store, wondering if they'd been the one who'd done it. My city isn't that big. I'm sure I've passed them somewhere. I wonder how many times they've done it... Where's the mom...💔

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

Am with you on this, 100%. The only comfort I can offer is that I truly believe that there are more animal lovers out there than the other type. Watching videos where people, who have nothing to do with any official rescue organization, go out of their way to help animals in need, domesticated and wild ones. We see the videos where someone finds a helpless abandoned baby, they try to find an expert in the animal's species, then end up saying, "oh well, I guess I'm going to look after this little one myself 🤷🏻‍♀️" - and often turn out to be incredibly successful to boot. Take comfort in knowing that these people exist, and you won't hear of by far the vast majority of them, but they'll still carry on caring for no reward, other than seeing that animal become healthy.

Whoever kept Angelica in a cage for six years (Spud too), would probably be screaming if they were in there for six minutes. Notice, I didn't use "person" as a description because that individual is not one of us. Angelica and Spud have thankfully ended up where they deserve to be. Whoever did this to them needs to be thankful that they haven't ended up where they deserve to be, as that is somewhere worse than a cage.

If there really is such a thing as God and heaven (which has never been proven but it is an incentive for some people to behave and a comfort for those who have lost loved ones) then I like to believe that our beloved pets are sent down to Earth to be with humans because humans NEED them, and when their duty is over, It's comforting to think that they go back where they came down from, to live happily ever after. Not true, but it IS comforting when you outlive a beloved pet, and most human's lifespan is far longer than our pets so we must face losing them at the end of their lifespan. But oh, what joy they bring to us while they are here with us!

I just adopted a rescue Boxer 3 weeks ago. She was clearly abused badly in her first home. She was terrified of everything and badly emaciated. So far we've had a vet visit for a badly needed bath, nail trim, and all her shots. Then her very first real collar complete with shiny new tags. I got to take her on her very first pet store visit. And her very first walk in the park. Probably her first time ever being brushed. And possibly her first time ever doing zoomies without being afraid. She has toys and a squishy bed and two kitty siblings now. And a new name so she never has to hear the old one again. She has all the food she can eat with an egg in addition every day, and plenty of fresh water. And she has me nearby always. She is doing amazing! She's still scared of a lot, but she let a few people pet her at the pet store - even a few men. She still flinches when she's touched, but much less now. And she looks very proud of herself because for the first time in her life she knows that she's doing things right. Her ribs and spine still show, but they aren't glaringly obvious anymore. And most of all she is happy and knows that she is loved and is safe. I feel like she was a special gift sent to me. And I'm so glad she's part of my family now. Welcome home, sweet Fiona. 💖🐾💖🐾
