This Homeless Puppy Was Shot Dozens Of Times In Head, But She Kept Fighting For Her Life

ADVERTISEMENT

A stray puppy wandering on the side of the road just outside Beirut, Lebanon, recently caught the attention of Amal Andari as she and a friend drove by. Though they only meant to give her some water, when they discovered a gaping wound on her head, they knew she needed more serious help – and fast.

After rushing the small, ailing dog to a nearby vet, X-ray scans revealed that the poor thing had been shot dozens of times with a pellet gun, most likely by local teenagers looking for ‘fun,’ and that she was infected with parvovirus. Andari, a volunteer for welfare organisation Animals Lebanon, told The Dodo that it’s a disturbingly common occurrence in her country, along with poisonings of homeless dogs.

Though the tormented puppy, now named Bondok, was left hurt and blinded as the result of her attack, she remained determined to live. Beating the 25% chance of survival she had initially been given, Bondok is now well on the mend, and is ready to find her special forever home – in, or outside of Lebanon. If you’d like to adopt Bondok, or if you’re able to help pay for her care, reach out to Animals Lebanon now.

(h/t: The Dodo)

I would love to find the people that did this, hold them down and shoot them dozens of times so they can see how it feels. What a lovely little dog. The person that saved her is the kind of people we want in the world.

You have to be really disturbed to shoot a harmless dog, and we are in real trouble if people use guns for entertainment..

What is so depressing is that many people don't understand that nurturing this lack of empathy, especially in young boys, creates vile societies. If we are so cruel towards creatures that are weaker than us we become despicable human beings and cannot possibly form a civilized society.

I wish I had the means to take this dog to live with me but I am in a difficult situation right now. I really hope she meets the nicest people possible. We, as people, owe her a huge apology. I also don't want the people who hurt her to live in the same world as my child. They are useless to society. No, not useless actually, they are a burden. Vermin. They deserve the life that's coming to them.

Why do people do this kind of thing for fun? I know people get bent out of shape when you say the type of things I'm about to say, but I don't really care. The people that do this kind of thing should really be eradicaded, like wiped out, we do not need their genes spreading.

There are only two types of people who do this: those with certain mental diseases, and those who are deeply hurting inside themselves. Jailtime or torture will cure neither. It's easy to say: I'd never do this, so the person who does this must be inherently evil, perhaps not a person at all. But yes, they are people, and in the right - or technically wrong - kind of circumstances and set of genetics, each one of us could've ended up like that: a sorry excuse for humanity that feels the need to hurt others to cure the pain inside. Yeah, I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this, but I pity the person who did this. I pity the pup more. But to ignore that people who do this are created by the society we ALL maintain, is lazy and easy.

I would torture the f**k out of those little pieces of pure, straight s**t! I would slice them with a sharp, actually a dull knife, for more pain, then rub human feices on their wounds and leave them tied up on the side of a road inb 100 degree weather!!! I hope something really bad happens to someone they dearly love , what goes around comes around!

It looks to be a single shot from a cartridge that contains many small pellets. But 'Multiple times by evil teenagers for fun' makes a better story for this website It guess. Perhaps it was an elderly man who couldn't look after his dog so wanted to put it down quickly and humanely and had to use a gun instead of giving it an injection like the rspca does.
