Family's missing pets tortured as 'bait dogs' reunited with their owner

In Arlington, Texas, a family were happily reunited with their missing dogs after one year, however the circumstances were different and no one can be sure what horrible experiences the dogs had to experience, reports CbsLocalNews.

In a miraculous recovery, emaciated Tank and and Bowser had been found wandering along a country road in Ennis. The rescue group Cody's Friends Rescue offered to help them. Because the dogs had microchips, the organization was able to track down their family, and not long after the discovery of the dogs' identities, a telephone call came into their owner, Laurie Lyles.

“We found your dogs. I do want to warn you that they are not in good shape," stated Cody's Friends Rescue, Nancy Stephenson. Besides having been starved, Tank and Bowser were covered in scars as if they had been fighting for their lives. Rescuers think the dogs had been used as bait dogs to train other dogs for fighting. Originally, there was concern if the personalities of the dogs had changed since they had been missing, but when Tank walked into his home, he showered Laurie with kisses. Both dogs are now dealing with health issues; Tank is being treated for heartworms, and Bowser just had ear surgery to repair damage. Meanwhile the dogs have taken their places lying on the couches and are obviously just happy to be home.

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment .  I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry,  and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that  destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth  on Instagram and  @justice4earth  on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

The cat’s reaction is heartbreaking after their dog died of cancer 2 weeks ago

The strong bond between cats and dogs amaze me more and more each day, they are best friends, it’s not true that there is enmity between them, it’s completely wrong, and this story proved it. This dog is living with the cat in the same home, sadly, the dog was very sick, so his owner took him to the vet. The vet diagnosed the dog with cancer, from this moment, the countdown of his living days had just started. Charlie the dog is very loved, from the first day that Scout the kitty had come home, the bond started instantly, she couldn’t sleep unless she nestled up to Charlie. They became very close friends, Scout the cat wanted to be around him all the time, play all the time, and have unlimited fun, they were best buddies. And as for Charlie, he was very gentle with his new friend, he tried to make her happy and let her do anything she wants. Wherever Charlie went, she was right away with him, following him wherever he went to, or wherever he was going, Scout the cat was his shadow....
