There are truly days that I am ashamed to be a member of the human race when I share my species with those that can do something like this to a tiny defenseless creature. This is Lotti. She was found in an empty lot in Phoenix, AZ by a man who was looking at graffiti and noticed her, thankfully, or she would not have survived. Just a tiny little long-haird chihuahua mix, left to suffer an die horribly.
“It was around her head and neck, duct taped around. So they really tried to make her suffer,” said Marisa McHugh, with Arizona Humane Society. “This is horrible. How they can do that to an innocent animal and walk away to let her suffer like that?”
And as if this story could be any worse than it is, it’s believed it’s possible that the culprits of this horrific crime may be juveniles, as young as 12 and 14 years old!
“The witness on scene saw three or four 12 to 14 year olds right there in the area. As soon as they saw him and he saw them, they were very suspicious and took off immediately,” said Stacie DaBolt, field operations manager with the Arizona Humane Society.
The human society plans to investigate and hopes to find some leads. They just cannot believe anyone would do such a thing to such a sweet little dog.
“She’s so sweet, that’s why we don’t understand it. I mean, she’s been a good dog. While I was putting the catheter in, she never tried to bite or nip,” said Mc Hugh. “She’s just been a perfect dog.”
Unfortunately I can believe it and am seeing cruelty like this more and more, children that are little monsters, inflicting pain and suffering and think its funny or amusing. You have to wonder what is missing in their hearts, souls and lives to turn to such cruelties. Are we looking a psychopaths here, future violent criminals? It’s very possible. I hope they are found and maybe they can get help before it’s too late if it’s not already.
I’m thankful this Good Samaritan was in the right place at the right time to save this little one and hopefully she will recover fully and find the wonderful loving home that every furry companion so deserves.
NOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS TINY ANGEL? I HOPE SHE CAN FIND A LOVING HOME AND GET THE CARE AND AFFECTION THAT SHE NEEDS SO BADLY!
AS FAR AS THESE POS KIDS ARE CONCERNED…LIKE I’VE SAID BEFORE, YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT THEIR PARENTS ARE LIKE!!
IF I FOUND THESE POS I WOULD USE THE SAME DUCK TAPE THEY USED ON THIS POOR BABY GIRL, WELL, YOU CAN FIGURE THE REST OUT FOR YOURSELVES…
NOT ONLY DO THESE POS NEED PSYCHIATRIC CARE, I WOULD THINK THEIR PARENTS DO AS WELL…
I too feel the same way about this poor fur baby and hope that these kids burn in hell … I totaly agree with being ashamed but I try to make what other do wrong and take them turn them into doing right in my own way…. Humans are shamful lots of times… like my sign says out front of my house “Dogs Welcome Humans go away”…..
Oh well there is the next generation of wife beaters and kids animals are just where they start. Humans are the top preditor on this planet so you can expect just about anything out of some of us
This is HEARTBREAKING! Look at that tiny thing!! I just want to scoop her up, take her home and treat her like a Queen.
I have to agree with Marcy, those kids and their parents all need frontal lobotomies!!!
The future of this world scares me. It really does.
Well, Here’s all I have to say about this….AND, this was on the other Duct Tape story. Come on! This has got to stop! Not just for the animals, but read the following and this is one of the biggest reasons this needs to stop and stop now! LISTEN UP JUDGES AND LAWYERS!!! Pay attention when you are giving these light sentences to these abusers!!! When you catch these little murdering abusers, send them to jail! For a very long time and while they are in there, get them some pyscological help. I could care a less if they are juviniles…more reason to make the punishment the worst it can be! Sorry Sa….you just had all the right words and thought they could apply here as well.

Such a person may well be a child molester as well; he must be caught and treated mentally.
According to Academic studies THERE IS A LINK BETWEEN CRUELTY TO ANIMALS and VIOLENCE TOWARDS HUMANS: 1. “Violent acts toward animals have long been recognized as indicators of a dangerous psychopathy that does not confine itself to animals. Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives, wrote humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Murderers very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids, according to ROBERT K. RESSLER , who developed profiles of serial killers for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Studies have now convinced sociologists, lawmakers, and the courts that acts of cruelty toward animals deserve our attention. They can be the first sign of a violent pathology that includes human victims.” 2. “Animal cruelty in all of its forms is above all a crime that requires as much prosecution, punishment and accountability as any other violent crime.” Sandra Brode (the Chicago Bar Association).
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that certain people ought to have a warning tattooed to their foreheads, and it would read something like this: WARNING! THIS PERSON IS AN IDIOT! DO NOT LEAVE ALONE IN THE PRESENCE OF CHILDREN AND/OR SENIOR CITIZENS AND/OR ANIMALS!
If a judge can order that an aggressive dog be made to wear a muzzle whenever it is taken out in public, why can’t we put a warning like this on people who do hard to the vulnerable among us? I think it would make the world a better place.
*applause, applause* If only… if only!
Susan, problem is, they’re “just dogs”… so they really don’t count…. we of course, know better. This is why, in general, I’ll take pets and animals over most people any day!

Anyone that tortures animals should have severe punishment. DOG spelled backwards is GOD. Frankly, myself, I have had enough of this getting rid of GOD attitude. The laws need to change and they need to change now. Any animal dog or otherwise can be good and loving if you show it love. Dogs are the most loyal of all animals that I know of. You can discipline them and they still love you. What is wrong with these people that get their kicks out of torturing or killing a dog or any other animal. I say make the parents accountable. Maybe this is what it will take to get parents to better teach and control their children. I think they should also make these kids work in a shelter just to see what dogs have gone through.
Now that President Obama has a dog, maybe he will listen. I think his own children can be a big influence.
A person with no compassion to animals is one who may murder his brother!
