Some of us know how positively scary it is when our beloved dog goes missing; the worrying, the frantic running around and phone calls to anyone and everyone, the searching, the tears, the hope, the prayers. After a couple of weeks we begin to question and loose a little hope every day. I can imagine how it was for an unnamed Providence, NY family when their beagle, Daisy came up missing. For two weeks they scoured the little town of 1800 residents without luck. Then on Sunday they got a call letting them know that Daisy had been found but how she was found is enough to make the most sedate person’s blood boil!
Ed Dandaraw, 64, was out hunting in a swampy area of his property, an area that he had not even ventured on in about three years, when he saw a black bundle. At first he thought it might be a baby bear but when he looked a little closer he saw it was a plastic trash bag. Then the bag shifted and he saw two brown legs sticking out. When he ripped the bag off, you can imagine his surprised when he found a dog inside, a dog that had been cruelly duct taped, her midsection, her front paws and her whole head except for her nostrils was encased in a silver prison.
“When I pulled open the bag, she hardly moved,” said Dandaraw, who said the dog’s skin beneath the tape was hairless and appeared to be rotting. “I don’t think she had much time left.”
“(Whoever did this) was a very sick, deranged person,” Dandaraw said. “They left the nostrils open so she could breathe in the bag.”
He took the dog to an emergency vet who scanned for a microchip which they found. They called the owners and Daisy was reunited with her family. She’s about 20-lbs lighter then she was before she went missing, can hardly eat so she has to be fed tiny quantities many times a day.
Now Dandaraw wants justice for Daisy who would have died a slow, cruel suffering death if he hadn’t chanced to be in that area of his property.
“I did my job in saving that dog,” Dandaraw said, “and now whoever can help to find out who can do this needs to stand up.”
Do you live in that area or know someone who does? This is something that you can imagine some sick kids doing for a thrill or maybe someone trying to get back at the owners for something. Most likely a bully or piece of trash who is proud or what they did and maybe even bragging about it. Whoever did this could easily do something like this again or something even worse. Please help to get the word out. Someone may know something or hear something. Daisy deserves justice and the trash who did this needs to pay for their cruelty!!
This is beyond depraved. Whether children or adults, the person (or persons) who did this is sure to be a danger to everyone they come into contact with, human, dog or otherwise. It is beyond comprehension how anyone could do this. And it is a miralce that little Daisy survived, and that for some reason Mr Dandaraw decided to go to that point on his property in time to save her life. Bless him for getting her to the vet and for saving her.
In a community of only 1800 it would seem that those involved could be found out. I do not know about everyone else, but even though I know no one in that town, I am going to post to everyone I know, in the hopes that they know people in that town and those people will help. It is unlikely, that the any involved, whether a single person or a group will be able to keep this totally to themselves.
D. I know we are not about fund raising or begging for rescue on this site, but would it be possible for you to make contact with Mr Dandaraw or anyone else involved to see if they are establsihing a reward fund for the arrest of the those involved. This is one fund that I would run to donate to, and would hock something if I had to in order to do so. Years ago, my little 10 pound Lhasa boy went missing in the overnight. Luckily a good Samaratin found him and brouhgt him home. I cannot even think about the terror I felt for those ten or so hours, little less weeks, or the nightmares I had over wondering if I would ever know what happened to him. No dog, no animal, no creature should ever have to suffer in this manner.
This is a Miracle and Mr. Dandaraw is little Daisy’s guardian Angel!
I have 2 wishes righr now. First and foremost is that Daisy will recuperate from her ordeal and second is that whichever Piece of S… did this get caught and get the biggest beating out of his/her/their life!
I would gladly do the same … and with the utmost pleasure … to who did this to poor Daisy.
I am so glad Daisy’s guardians will get the chance try to make up for the traumatic, terror, and hopelessness this poor little dog experience in those lonnnngggg hours, days, weeks slowly dying. I am so disappointed this scum bag has not been found yet. May he live everyday in fear of being caught. Hey…may he read this blog. (: (If he isn’t caught, prosecuted and punished – what I hope cannot be written here.)
o my o my….what is wrong with us as a species that we do things like that to another sentient being…..we need to make big examples of people like this…..alongside rapists, child abusers etc…..BIG example. this keeps making me sick to my stomach….evil people need to be flushed….
Thank you so very much Mr.Ed Dandaraw. You saved little Daiseys life, you are a hero. You have a wonderful life and be safe. God Bless You : )
I hope that if anyone knows who did this viscous thing, that they make a call, even if it is anonamous, please call. The sic people or persons need to be stopped for Daisey and for the future victims. The next victim might not be a dog. Think about it, please..
I’m so glad she was found and so speechless with rage at what was done to her! I’m shaking, this is just about impossible to take in. I too live in a small town and have felt safe, to some extent from the madness in the larger world. I knew in my heart it was more a dream than realty but to see this horrible thing done to a sweet beagle in a tiny town, it’s heartbreaking.
I hope whoever did it is foolish enough to talk and that someone with a heart and soul informs on them. I am beyond words, just beyond words on this one.
Reading this story made me beyond upset!! It turns my stomach that ANYONE could do this to this sweet animal! Thank God that she was found by this wonderful man!! I believe there should be a man hunt out for this cruel and EVIL person!! Can they take the duck tape and try to figure out where it came from, like they would do in an investigation. This piece of crap person needs to pay dearly for this!!! I WANT JUSTICE for Daisy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A person who commits such an act has to be a sociopath who has no remorse for any evil & hurtful things done to animals or people! This person needs to be found quickly, or they may do this again to another animal!
The local authorities need to take this very seriously because only a complete psycho would do such a thing and he won’t stop until he’s caught. The next dog…or person….who runs into this maniac may not be so fortunate

This is beyond words or explanation , the levels or cruelty and stupidity are getting higher .Who ever done this should be tortured severely . Sorry my honest opinion
There are too many frigging evil minded people in this world, that should be shown the fast route to hell, whoever did that to the poor dog must have thought it fun, well i hope the person or people get found and someone needs to show them what real fun is,by doing the same to them, evil, sick minded things from hell
I hope this person gets this done to him , only cover his nose and mouth as well
Thank the heavens above and Mr. Dandaraw for saving little Daisy. What a horrible, long, suffering death some freakin’ idiot left for her. This is beyond all cruelty and needs severe punishment brought to the individuals involved. I am so glad she is re-united with her family and can’t even begin to imagine what was going through her head as she lay there in that condition (waiting for her human family to rescue her). Sick, sick, people…..the island awaits you!
I am totally stunned and speachless, what the hell is going on with people these days?
