It's good to see Doogie being cared for ... whatever scum left him in that disgraceful condition should be ashamed and apalled of their dishonorable and cowardly crime, and should be in prison for a long time. Thanks for posting this.
Doogie, we'll think of you daily and hope you can enjoy a real forever home and human love as we do. We all were adopted into our forever home from rescue organizations. Fred and Jesse had been together in the home for years and no one would adopt us old guys as a pair. Scooter was a puppy lost on a freeway and got rescued. WE LOVE YOU. Scooter Dogg, Fred n' Jesse Cat.
i've no idea what the dog got up to before its illness/death. but either way, you shouldn't let something suffer like that. the best you can do is what tammy did, forgive and forget and get on with your life.
Well done. I am pround of you and glad to know this dog got you to help him. Hope justice will be done, and the ones who let him chained to die get charged.
Visit her organization's website www.dogsdeservebetter.org. She's a hero we should all stand behind!! As to the post regarding giving the animal to the authorities. She tried many times to contact the authorities before she took him!! He was on death's door and she had no choice, but to take action. No one would call her back until after she had already taken him to the vet. They just didn't care!!
You really are a hero Tammy. Pgh Humane Society BETTER stand behind you on this!! I will be highly upset if they don't go to court with you. Isn't that what our donations are for????
The Arnold's should be brought up on charges for animal cruelty and you certainly did the right thing for Doogie. I can't stomach people that have no concern for an animal's welfare. God Bless and keep up the good work! Hugs to Doogie :-)
I do not take issue with Ms. Grimes cause. I have no problem stepping forward to protect animals. However, I believe that Ms. Grimes should have turned the dog over to the authorities when asked. I do not know either the owners or Ms Grimes and I will not make a judgment on who is right with the information that I have available. Unfortunately, videos can be altered. If she had produced the dog when asked, there would have been no doubt as to the condition of the dog at the time.
Tammy, you are a true person among a society a fakes. Thank you for your courage and compassion. I can only hope many other people take inspiration from your actions, including myself.
I commend you on your fight for justice. With each passing day I find myself having less & less compassion for mankind, but my love & devotion for animals will certainly never sway. You did the right thing, no matter what any pig of a cop might tell you. Keep fighting the good fight & we will win.
To Tammy & everyone else involved in Doogie's rescue, Thank you.
To everyone else, learn from these heroes. If we do nothing, we accomplish nothing.
Thank you for your compassion and willingness to help. For the people who do not know, I hope and pray that everyone wakes up to how twisted this world is and I'm not talking about animal cruelty. I'm talking about what's inside of people...hate, carelessness and a relentless persuit of power. God bless you.
Tammy, You are a wonderful person for doing what you did - to help Doogie at least have some peace before passing, especially facing such ignorant law enforcement. Good luck with the upcomming trial - you have my support.
As a part of rescue myself, I say thankyou for helping him. It's heartbreaking to see animals abused daily by their "owners", or even just abandoned. So, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, Tammy. You are a hero to so many people, but you did nothing remarkable. You merely did the right thing, and unfortuantely that is rare in this world. Thank you for your bravery and selflessness.
Tammy, I set Boney on to talk to John Reilly. John seems to listen to him for some reason. I'm sure when Central PA realizes they can't pull this stuff anymore because the world will know on the internet, it will stop. The dog warden problem sucks, as for my area, ours takes care of both Bedford/Fulton Counties, and your lucky if they call you back in a week!
You are a guardian angel. Bless you. Keep up the fight against the injustice and evil in society. I hope the 'owners' of this animal are treated like the criminals they are and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Best of luck in your endeavors, never give up...we are with you!
Apalling behavior from the 'KEYSTONE COPS' of Freedom Township,The owners of those poor dogs to allow them to live in mud and filth,and the Altoona Mirror for not publishing photos of the dogs and the horror that they live in..
I think you are a wonderful powerful women. You are AMAZING for doing this! I would have done the same thing had it been me, and i'm 17. If I could I would take your place and wouldn't regret a minute of it. Charges against you MUST be dropped and given to his owners. What were you suppost to do? Let him die? Your my hero, truly. Everyone needs to hear about this. I will pass it on to everyone including the media. thank you for doing this! God bless!
Yay! Finally someone with some backbone! Go Tammy! Obviously animal abuse is rampant in your state, and officials, police and your local goverment could care less. I will never visit there, especially Amish Country....THE OWNERS ARE THE ONES WHO SHOULD BE ARRESTED...THEY WERE JUST GOING TO LET THE DOG LAY THERE AND DIE...JUST LOOK AT HIS FOOD BOWL..DISGUSTING...A DISGRACE THAT THESE ANIMALS ARE TREATED AS NOTHING MORE THAN GARBAGE.
Hello Tammy. I'm Kate. Your e-mail was forwarded to me. As many others have stated, I would have done the same. I am a retired 17 year veteran police sergeant from Ohio. I forwarded an e-mail letter to the newspaper link pasted at the bottom of your letter. I don't understand why the local authorities are pursuing you instead of Doogie's owners. I have never seen anything like this in the 17 yeras I was a cop in Ohio.
He looks so much happier there. How could someone just leave him where he was?? I honestly do not understand how these people get away with things like this.
As Sarah above said, you have a lot of support from the UK. What you did was admirable, and I wish Doogie and yourself all the best.
I still can't belive that people can live with themselves after doing something like this to a defencless animal. thankfully everything in the UK is pritty good. Does sometimes get abused, but luckly the guys here also get to do some amazing work and dogs like that get looked after and new homes found for them.
The other white dog on the previous video is also very skinny and living in inhumane conditions at the end of a chain with no space to run and play. He should be removed and placed in a warm home or he will end up like Boogie.
God bless you...people like you make the world a better place...there is after all hope for human kind and a few lucky K9s...my love to you and Doggie...xo
I live in Scotland (uk) its a criminal offense here to be cruel to animals. Can you tell me what the law is there? It appears that you are being charged with being a loving caring human being..this seems bizarre.Please keep us posted with Doogie's progress. I have nothing but admiration for you.
The laws here are all pretty much the same, with the exception for a few states. It is against the law to abuse/neglect an animal. But right now sadly I geuss they are more worried about her "stealing(which she didnt)" the dog. I think the police (sadly i live in the same state, Pennsylvania)are on a power trip or something. Hopefully all charges will be dropped. She did nothing but save a life.
The crime is not rescuing Doogie, the crime is the fact that Doogie had to be rescued. What is wrong with this world? I am behind you and will do what I can do to support you!
This is one blessed dog, thanks to Tammy Grimes. I hope everything works out great for both of you. And just a reminder: all of us can help one needy animal where we live. Offer to welk at dog for an older person who can't get out. Take a stray to get a low-cost spay/nueter clinic. Adopt from a shelter, not a pet store.
I would have done the SAME thing, I would NOT dare leave a dog sitting or laying there in those conditions!!!! God BLESS YOU for saving this poor defenseless animal...You wil be BLESSED!!!!
:( Cruel cold hearted people - they obviously don't care about the suffering of animals - Bring on the automatic lifetime ban of having or being around animals ! This is the only way to prevent reoffending cruelty - and it will save so many lives ! And support a law that makes it illegal to chain dogs - full stop !
You did a great thing saving this dog. The judge an prosecuters need their heads checked.

Tammy rescued this poor neglected creature and for her good deed the judge punished her.
Sorry but Tammy did the right thing not waiting for Doogie to die in pain and starvation.
Doogie got live his last days being loved and spoiled by someone who did love him.
Sorry but dogs do have souls and each one has their own personality look at each dog and you can see it.
Doogie glad to see you found someone with a heart a gold to love you.
God Bless you and may you be free and healthy.
