Pure Cruelty

I read an article today That truly saddened my heart About abuse of an innocent dog Whose severe mistreatment by a human was off the chart This poor broken animal Who did no-one any harm Was beaten regularly by a teenage boy The extent of this abuse caused me such disgust and alarm This beautiful dog lost an eye Had an operation on his brain Vertical stitches from the top of his head to his nose Disabled for life caused by pure cruelty and extreme pain This article made me so emotional Seeing this beautiful creature disfigured and in such a state At the hands of an depraved evil human So consumed with cruelty and hate

What makes a person do such a despicable thing? It's frightful.

It sounds like this teen is a budding sociopath. I wonder if he was beaten? Makes me sick to hear things like that also. We are here to care for the innocent, not project our angst on to them. Horrific!

I feel it's the parents' fault for not teaching their offspring the true meaning of love. Great poem Deb Cuddles.

Incredible posting, Deb, on the maxed out cruelty some people are capable of. I gather the dog was rescued from his abuser. Be well. Brian

An eye for an eye... this boy should be treated exactly the way the dog was treated. And that is still better treatment than he deserves.

Hi Deb, What happened to that dog was uncalled. The act alone cruel and filled with much hate. My heart goes to that lovely yet marred and maimed creature-Alexis

I have goosebumps just from reading your description, but my mind can picture that poor pooch. People like that need to be treated the same way. It IS disgusting.
