Poor Poppy, what jerks her previous owners, I wish they had been publicly shamed. Her cries break my heart but, she is now being loved and cared for with lots of friends, thank you Lee.

[@rockdisappeared9203]

Tbh she probably missed her children… Washable marker doesn’t hurt and she may have liked it, being quite a baby herself… because dogs aren’t truly colorblind. If a dog’s ever going to notice colors it’s as a puppy… I felt her missing the children. She doesn’t know they were doing anything wrong. She just misses their little faces and little hands that never hurt her. She was probably so confused.

I lost my beloved basset a year ago...I miss him every day. Rest in peace, my little donkey.

I wouldn't necessarily say cruel. Those kids just didn't know how to treat her. I've seen what real cruelty looks like...

[@LindaCasey]

I don't think they were cruel to the baby .. they were just babies themselves .. this pup is now in great hands.

Just ignorance. The parents bought her “for the kids”, quite small kids, without teaching them that an animal isn’t a toy.

[@saragrant9749]

The family who surrendered her should be investigated, that’s so cruel to see her so scared and traumatized like that. Who lets kids draw on a dog like that! Thank goodness she is now happy and loved!

[@Electricshrock]

Frankly, a lot of kids around 3 years old would do that. They're just coming to terms with their surroundings, curious and impulsive, and just don't know any better. Did it occur to you the owners might have surrendered the puppy to save it from further such impulsive acts?

[@saragrant9749]

@@Electricshrock did it ever occur to YOU that parents are responsible for teaching their children proper behavior?! At three years old a child is old enough to be taught what is and is not acceptable, it’s a simple as that. Parents that don’t should never have had children in the first place, as they are not committed to raising that child properly. Another point- if you can’t ensure you can teach your child to appropriately treat an animal- DO NOT GET ONE!! Excuses are for the lazy and the ignorant.

[@Electricshrock]

​@@saragrant9749 "At three years old a child is old enough to be taught what is and is not acceptable" That's barely old enough to TRY to teach the basics of what's acceptable. Kids develop at different rates and I just picked 3 years old as a ballpark figure for when they might have the ability to pick up a marker and flail it around but lack a full understanding of what animals do and don't like. That such an inflection point in their development may exist is not necessarily testament to bad parenting even with a "normal" child, let alone one that may have underlying issues. You can't talk about 'ensuring' a toddler knows this or that like checkboxes on an insurance form. Sometimes it just isn't possible to anticipate your child's inclination to do something until they do it. You hope for the best, try to teach the lessons that seem the most obvious at the time, but when the worst happens (and actually drawing on a dog is far, FAR from the worst) you deal with it as best you can.

[@saragrant9749]

@@Electricshrock you have CLEARLY never been around three year olds. I have, spent quite a bit of time in both a preschool and daycare working with children that age. YES, they can be shown and taught how to properly handle a small animal. You expose them to a small animal- a kitten or a puppy in a controlled situation (ie mom and dad are right there) and demonstrate to them how to behave. You reinforce good behavior and work with them to learn not to do things that could hurt the animal. It’s called raising your child- something you and much of today’s society have forgotten how to do!! My parents started teaching me right from wrong, including being gentle with animals at age two and a half to three. The younger you start, the more they retain the lessons learned. You want to wait until they are seven or eight? Good luck with that as many behaviors by then have been learned and become habits- and are much more difficult to unlearn! Today’s society has this misconception that very young children are too young to learn proper behavior and habits- and use it as an excuse to justify situations like this. It is an example of how much we have devolved in parenting- and is exactly why there are so many easily preventable behavioral issues today. If you’re going to sit there and say that a three year old can’t be shown how to safely handle a small animal like this, then you should also be saying there should be an age restriction on when a family can adopt a pet!!

It makes me wonder if she was truly abandoned... Ive met only 2 people that just let their dogs go and treat them like trash, but I've seen several times people try to walk up and take dogs they thought were pretty. Curious because I'm seeing a lot of videos with people picking up dogs that look like they had been taken care of. I don't agree with kids coloring on a puppy, but I do know that sometimes little toddlers can get into things quickly. He still looks shiny and well fed.

I am constantly amazed at how animals react to Lee Asher. He is truly one of those unique souls that can charm just about any animal. A trait not all people have. I like animals and for the most part I think they like me, but for people like Lee animals love them and they love animals. It's almost like they have never met any kind of animal that they didn't love. These type of people tend to end up working with animals whether it's becoming a vet, starting a sanctuary, working with a rescue, something to do with animals. It's always a joy to watch Lee bring out the best of a broken or sad or scared animal. He is truly a miracle worker sent from heaven.
