Fuck the person that took this video and didn't do anything. Help the damn dog don't just stand there!! My god this world is fuckin worthless...smh... if it were me,this vide would of concluded with me takin his ass off that chain and into my house with a big bowl of water. Your an asshole for doing nothing =(.. Heartbreaking.
@NASIMNASIM oh please ! this is ridiculous the way you talk, is not the fact of being a black or white person that makes a human better or worst, is the personality, the soul, many white people are real demons, and many black people are good as angels. I met both types, stop being racist. You can come back black next reencarnation , karma will get you. or the person is good or evil, is a choice , not the color of the skin. Is the driver that is bad, not the vehicle. They are different.
That dog looks like my pittie. I cried watching this. Also if you know how people are with dog fighting, they tend to not give them food or water and train them to be mean this is how they do it. I'm really upset on how people are. I thought of watching my pit in this and it's sad.. Please help animals.
Just saw the update on this case,as I said previously you sometimes have to take the law into your own hands,that poor dog is still with an appalling owner who has even more of a grievance against it ,so much for the laws especially the ones for animals.Vivienne.
To the whisle blower : you don't think that these people would watch something on youtube before they watch the news and if you check the angle, they know where it was filmed from, so it should have gone to the news right away ... now they moved the dog inside, you think he get treated better ... prob worse now because the guy had to spend money because of the dog, the dog now seems to be in everyones way and he is accessible each time someone has a fit and need a punching bag ...
I just heard back from IDA, too. Right, IDA collaborated to get the proof of the neglect for animal control. The cruel guardian was cited, and they think the dog was moved inside. IDA said they have since moved from the property, which was in Portland just around the corner from the (old) IDA office. Kudos to those involved for trying to help. A sweet dog. Chilling how simmeringly angrily he responded to the dog's warm greeting. Heartbreaking to think this might still be going on elsewhere.

Did anyone save the dog, or did you just get video to post to get attention?
I am also a DDB rep. What happened with this dog? This video was footage is from 2009. If he has not died already, does he still need to be removed from the premises?
I don't care if the recorder of this video lives right next door to this person or not. If this were my next door neighbor my a** would still send this video to anyone who could help this dog. Is this dog still chained?

Yes I too would like to know what happened to this dog ? It seems the comments go back a year .. So what happened ?? I am so sick of all the informations about animals treated cruel and NO updates or follow ups, on what happened to these poor souls .. Anyone ??
Why dont you guys just break in and steal the dog and take it to somewhere far where he'll be loved ?? many animal activists do that . You are talking about working inside the law..but when basically the people dont care about this dog...how is law going to make them care more ? The only way for saving this angel any more torture is to take him away to a loving home . Come on guys...just steal him and run......
Words can't even describe how sad and angry I feel.. PLEASE tell me this dog was rescued. His 'owner' shouldn't be allowed to keep dogs. EVER. I'm half black, and I can tell you, most black people don't care for or like dogs. Sigh.
Sometimes the only thing to do is take things into your own hands and do what is right, I did and don't regret it and don't have to worry anymore.Vee.
Absolutely disgusting that dogs can be left like this I would like to do it to the owners and see how they feel,although they are probably so thick and sub human they still wouldn't get it,there was a dog like this down a road near us neck bleeding from the chain it isn't there any more and now has a good home thanks to us.Vee.

Im sorry but your intentions may be good in filming this but ....to watch this go on for hour after hour..in my eyes makes you as bad as th eperson who chained this dog!
sod the whislte blower...and sod the person who chained this poor dog!! good god!!! you know sometimes you just have to F*ck the law ...because you know inside whats moraly right and wrong...THIS IS WRONG..THE DOG IS SUFFERING !!
when i was in usa i saw this alot and i didnt film it or wonder what to do... I DID !!
What a dreadfully sad video. And there is that thoughtless person who came out and picked up the dog's dishes and the dog was so excited that something good was to result ! Ha! the man couldn't care less. I would like to chain him up to a pole with out shade or water, then the winter comes and along with that the snow, I do not understand how people like that can think they are someone superior to the dog. They are NOT.
Its been over a year and please tell us that this innocent puppy is in a better home :( this video is so hard to watch even though its just one out of a thousand i just hope this baby is somewhere better with a loving family
Very distressing video. While documenting this is important I'd suggest that the police or local authorities should have been called in straight away.
Whatever happened to this situation. This is almost a year ago. Why not steal the dog in the middle of the night or when no one is home. Knowing this is going on and not helping this animal NOW, is just as guilty as the owner.
they are just uneducated. these people dont actually realise what they are doing. they are told this is the way and thats all they know. its not thier fault... they dont know any better.
Humans will never be more than savages until they learn to treat each other and their animals in a humane way. This is disgusting. All they had to do was provide shelter for him, leave a bowl of water there and a bowl of food. Poor dogs on this planet, at the mercy of humans, law doesnt even provide for them.
The phenomena of attraction to pit bull dogs by individuals of lower socioeconomic status is pretty obvious and these are exactly the haphazard scum that shouldn't be allowed to have ANY dogs at all. This bastard needs his face shoved in the dirt...to hell with political correctedness.
I ussualy don't wantch vids like this not because I care..But because I feel so hurt when I see this..I knew it..I will not be able to sthink straight again for long cos this will play back in my mind.Guys,lets post this to wherever ths vid will be noticed.There's so many animals there who needs to be given attention.This is softcore abuse!!This is not right!!!I have posted this on my FB page..please do the same if you can!
Honestly, why the hell do people bother getting pets if they cant take care of them?!!? People should not be aloud to own a pet if they cant take care of them! This is cruel..poor dog :( I hope he gets rescued and finds a better home.
This video was linked in the latest Dogs Deserve Better newsletter. I certainly hope someone has removed the dog the dog by now! With so many people asking about the dogs whereabouts, he might have been saved from these heartless owners sooner if more information had been given. I'm amazed he's alive after living all summer in those conditions! That guy didn't even want the dog to touch him! Brought me to tears and sickens me as to what some people consider pet ownership!
Would you please update all of us on the location of this dog? People are reaching out to help either by calling animal control, the local government, just providing a rescue for the dog.
PLEASE let us know the city and state of this dog.
Idapdx, you must be receiving the posts via email. Please let us, someone know where this dog is at, so he can be rescued. I would not be opposed to removing him myself if I found out he is in Maryland!!
Again, I beg of whoever taped this to expose the town and the owners. Taping this for the authorities is all fine and good, but with the slowness of bureaucracy this dog could die. Please let someone else know this town, so other concerned citizens can rescue this boy!! Please, don't remain silent, I've been thinking about this poor boys sufffering since first seeing this vidoetape. Please don't let him die, because you are worried about your own safety. I understand that, but not at his expens
Please I beg who ever taped this please come forward and expose this on TV. This dog will die if not taken, if he's not already expired. Tell me where he is at, I will send people to get him, this is so wrong. Please, what town is he at??
Thank goodness there are people like you around and I hope the dog is taken from the owner eventually. This is the most common sight in Greece, dogs chained with no food or water permanently until they actually die at the end of a short chain, its tragic.
I am appalled that this dog still remains in this sad situation someone please call the SPCA. Once the owner took the empty bowls from the dog and placed them on the porch it was obvious that what we were seeing was a dog torture. It is not necessary to show the video to take the dog away. Where is this dog being held? Somebody please help this defenseless dog.
yes, now re-read that.... "whistleblower came forward"- where did he go if not to the authorities? and if whomever the whistle blower was dealing with is "working with local authorities to seize the dog" it might be apparent they are not working very quickly" not quite sure where this took place but to my knowledge, if this video was sent to a local news station , it might speed things up a bit or even if the matter were reported to the cops, it would have to have been investigated
We taped with the understanding that we wouldn't take this video to the TV stations, so as not to put our whistle blower in jeopardy with the neighbor. Our plan was to tape with the intent to prove he was in violation of our local tethering law. Frankly, we had no idea how bad the dog's situation was until after we got the 12 hours of tape.
the scenario? it's horrible and it is good that the situation has been rectified. but i have to ask about the person who posted the video? why did they choose to tape it instead of contact animal services as soon as they saw the dog out there without water instead of letting it suffer yet another day? :(
This video depicts twelve hours in the life of a chained dog. The video was taken after a whistleblower came forward about this poor dog's situation. We worked with the whistleblower to record the dog for 12 hours on a day when the temperature reached 92 degrees. The dog had no water and for several hours, no shade. The dog's guardian has been fined, but little has changed for this dog since the video was shot. We are still working with local authorities to seize the dog.
It is people like this that deserve to be placed in the same conditions that this sweet baby has had to suffer. shame on these human monsters for their selfishness and cruelty. Please..please tell me this baby has been rescued! He/she doesn't deserve this life of lonely, isolated exstence. he love, snuggles and loving hands and hearts...
There should be stiffer laws re: animal abuse like this! When are we as a society going to realize that animals are spiritual creatures and feel pain and joy just like us? There would obviously be immediate action if this were a case of human neglect! Treating a poor defenseless dog like this is inhumane and heartless! Allowing for this allows for that ignorant, heartless part of our society to perpetuate this deplorable attitude! Implement rigid laws NOW to eradicate this heartless behavior!
As horrible sad this is - there are so many out there in probably even worse situations. So wish this dog and the others could have a chance at a real loving home. Owners like this are clueless to an animals intllegence. To them this dog is like owning a bike. Hmm which is exactly the way our laws treat stolen dogs. Not like living beings that might be in great danger - but like a replaceable metal object...
Only a barbarian would do something like that to a Canine. You can tell by the surrounding that the "human" living in that dwelling isn't exactly swinging from the upper branches of the evolutionary tree. The only appropriate punishment would be to chain the property owner to a tree for 24 hours and see how he or she likes it. If the legal system isn't going to start putting a stop to things like this, then we as citizens have an obligation to take appropriate action.
What a sad situation and what's even worse is that there are many pet "owners" that see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Thank you all so much for raising awareness!
Get the police or any animal rights agency immediately. This is heartbreaking and if this owner isn't arrested there must be an investigation into who is not doing their job at once.
I'd like to tell everyone watching this that animal abuse happens very frequently, all around us. Please keep your eyes open and if you suspect something, it's probably true. Please call authorities! You can remain anonymous when you call. But PLEASE, do not allow animal abuse if you witness it. Most often than not, animals have NO ONE to help them! Many states have laws that will punish abusers.
If the poster of this video sees this, I'd like to ask why he didn't report to the police or animal control. I understand how helpful this video is to raise awareness, but I'd like to know the status of this animal and why no one was called, or if authorities were called the next day. Thanks
We took this video with the purpose of presenting it to animal control. Fortunately, our community has a tethering law and we wanted to video tape as a way to document this case, but also raise awareness of chained dogs. We're working to get this dog, but have to work within in the law - which can be a slow process. Squeaky wheel gets the grease - never give up!
I am a Dogs Deserve Better rep for Hobbs, NM. Our summer temps get up to 106-108 degrees. I have a foster albino pit that was chained for 6 years of his life. He has solar dermatitis around his eyes from getting sun burned every day and a basal cell carcinoma on his prepuce that is going to be surgically removed.
I just don't understand why people get a dog and don't enjoy them. They are really missing out on what their dog really has to offer them.

I do not have a dog. We are cat people. But my son has a dog and we watch him once in awhile. We have a perfect spot for him, a huge fenced in yard. We also have a large dog run. All dog owners should have fenced in yards so they can run around and get plenty of exercise and be protected and safe.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
instead of holding the video recorder you should have given the dog some water and gone nextdoor to let your neighbor know because this looks like spying to me and i do not agree with that.
Keep in mind that if they didn't get any evidence that the dog was being handled with such little care whatsoever, they would never be able to save the dog once and for all. A bit of food and water are only temporary means of help. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily intentional abuse. So many owners do this simply because they don't know any better. Which is why a video like this has to be made so people can finally open their eyes and understand how harmful it can be.
NO! This is torture. WTF is the matter with these people? People who hate dogs and have them, that needs to stop!!! Any "authorities" that issued a fine and forgot about this need to be brought up on charges themselves. What has happened with this dog?
There may be a fence separtaing the two properties, I can't tell. In response to the "noisy neighbor" comment, what else can you do? Comfronting the guy may not go over too well. Helping the dog yourself is only temporary...in the end, the owner either has to change, or give the dog up.

Please let someone else know this town, so other concerned citizens can rescue this boy!! Please, don't remain silent, I've been thinking about this poor boys sufffering since first seeing this vidoetape. Please don't let him die, because you are worried about your own safety. I understand that, but not at his expens

Heartwrenching :( :(
Please I beg who ever taped this please come forward and expose this on TV. This dog will die if not taken, if he's not already expired. Tell me where he is at, I will send people to get him, this is so wrong. Please, what town is he at??

Thank goodness there are people like you around and I hope the dog is taken from the owner eventually. This is the most common sight in Greece, dogs chained with no food or water permanently until they actually die at the end of a short chain, its tragic.

I am appalled that this dog still remains in this sad situation someone please call the SPCA. Once the owner took the empty bowls from the dog and placed them on the porch it was obvious that what we were seeing was a dog torture. It is not necessary to show the video to take the dog away. Where is this dog being held? Somebody please help this defenseless dog.

yes, now re-read that.... "whistleblower came forward"- where did he go if not to the authorities? and if whomever the whistle blower was dealing with is "working with local authorities to seize the dog" it might be apparent they are not working very quickly" not quite sure where this took place but to my knowledge, if this video was sent to a local news station , it might speed things up a bit or even if the matter were reported to the cops, it would have to have been investigated

We taped with the understanding that we wouldn't take this video to the TV stations, so as not to put our whistle blower in jeopardy with the neighbor. Our plan was to tape with the intent to prove he was in violation of our local tethering law. Frankly, we had no idea how bad the dog's situation was until after we got the 12 hours of tape.

the scenario? it's horrible and it is good that the situation has been rectified. but i have to ask about the person who posted the video? why did they choose to tape it instead of contact animal services as soon as they saw the dog out there without water instead of letting it suffer yet another day? :(

Here is what is says:
This video depicts twelve hours in the life of a chained dog. The video was taken after a whistleblower came forward about this poor dog's situation. We worked with the whistleblower to record the dog for 12 hours on a day when the temperature reached 92 degrees. The dog had no water and for several hours, no shade. The dog's guardian has been fined, but little has changed for this dog since the video was shot. We are still working with local authorities to seize the dog.

It is people like this that deserve to be placed in the same conditions that this sweet baby has had to suffer. shame on these human monsters for their selfishness and cruelty. Please..please tell me this baby has been rescued! He/she doesn't deserve this life of lonely, isolated exstence. he love, snuggles and loving hands and hearts...

There should be stiffer laws re: animal abuse like this! When are we as a society going to realize that animals are spiritual creatures and feel pain and joy just like us? There would obviously be immediate action if this were a case of human neglect! Treating a poor defenseless dog like this is inhumane and heartless! Allowing for this allows for that ignorant, heartless part of our society to perpetuate this deplorable attitude! Implement rigid laws NOW to eradicate this heartless behavior!

As horrible sad this is - there are so many out there in probably even worse situations. So wish this dog and the others could have a chance at a real loving home. Owners like this are clueless to an animals intllegence. To them this dog is like owning a bike. Hmm which is exactly the way our laws treat stolen dogs. Not like living beings that might be in great danger - but like a replaceable metal object...

Only a barbarian would do something like that to a Canine. You can tell by the surrounding that the "human" living in that dwelling isn't exactly swinging from the upper branches of the evolutionary tree. The only appropriate punishment would be to chain the property owner to a tree for 24 hours and see how he or she likes it. If the legal system isn't going to start putting a stop to things like this, then we as citizens have an obligation to take appropriate action.

Ida,
I sent this to our DDB reps and they would all like to know that this poor dog has been rescued from that situation and where the location is.
Great job capturing that, I sent it all around!

What a sad situation and what's even worse is that there are many pet "owners" that see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Thank you all so much for raising awareness!

Get the police or any animal rights agency immediately. This is heartbreaking and if this owner isn't arrested there must be an investigation into who is not doing their job at once.

I'd like to tell everyone watching this that animal abuse happens very frequently, all around us. Please keep your eyes open and if you suspect something, it's probably true. Please call authorities! You can remain anonymous when you call. But PLEASE, do not allow animal abuse if you witness it. Most often than not, animals have NO ONE to help them! Many states have laws that will punish abusers.

If the poster of this video sees this, I'd like to ask why he didn't report to the police or animal control. I understand how helpful this video is to raise awareness, but I'd like to know the status of this animal and why no one was called, or if authorities were called the next day. Thanks

We took this video with the purpose of presenting it to animal control. Fortunately, our community has a tethering law and we wanted to video tape as a way to document this case, but also raise awareness of chained dogs. We're working to get this dog, but have to work within in the law - which can be a slow process. Squeaky wheel gets the grease - never give up!

What is the status on this dog?
I am a Dogs Deserve Better rep for Hobbs, NM. Our summer temps get up to 106-108 degrees. I have a foster albino pit that was chained for 6 years of his life. He has solar dermatitis around his eyes from getting sun burned every day and a basal cell carcinoma on his prepuce that is going to be surgically removed.
I just don't understand why people get a dog and don't enjoy them. They are really missing out on what their dog really has to offer them.

I do not have a dog. We are cat people. But my son has a dog and we watch him once in awhile. We have a perfect spot for him, a huge fenced in yard. We also have a large dog run. All dog owners should have fenced in yards so they can run around and get plenty of exercise and be protected and safe.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
instead of holding the video recorder you should have given the dog some water and gone nextdoor to let your neighbor know because this looks like spying to me and i do not agree with that.
SICKCHICANO 2 years ago
Keep in mind that if they didn't get any evidence that the dog was being handled with such little care whatsoever, they would never be able to save the dog once and for all. A bit of food and water are only temporary means of help. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily intentional abuse. So many owners do this simply because they don't know any better. Which is why a video like this has to be made so people can finally open their eyes and understand how harmful it can be.

NO! This is torture. WTF is the matter with these people? People who hate dogs and have them, that needs to stop!!! Any "authorities" that issued a fine and forgot about this need to be brought up on charges themselves. What has happened with this dog?
