Last Saturday I saw a beat up truck stop on out street and a dog thrown out. He had a thich chain wrapped around his neck that dragged maybe 6' behind him.
The dog looked lost.
On closer inspection he looks like a Pit Bull Terrier without a cropped tail. He has numerous scars on his ears, neck and body and a really bad gash on his chest that looks about half healed. He has bite marks on his tongue. He's undernourished, but seems to be in good health with no distended belly indicating worms. A neighbor who has a Pit back in the states also thinks he's a PBT, even though he's rather meek.
IMO, based on pure speculation, his wounds look like he's been in a bad fight and lost. It wouldn't surprise me if he's one of those meek animals dog fighters use as "bait" for their fighting dog to practice on.
While I'm no great fan of Pit Bulls, this one is very sweet, tail wagging, a sad look on his face. We've been feeding him and he's sticking close to our property, a large lot shared with a neighbor. I had my guy build a dog house to keep out of the elements next to our gate (the streeet gets very little traffic.) He stays close to his "house" at all times, and comes right out when someone calls or whistles. My neighbor calls him "Chocolate" since that's his color.
We've sprayed on some purple antiseptic to help the wounds heal.
He craves attention and goes on a wagfest when you approach him. He craves the human touch.
I think he'd make a great pet if a person takes care of him with some food, vet care and a place to call home.
He's here hanging out. If anyone would like to take in a nice dog in great need of a home, drop me a PM.
