Can you imagine?

Kobe was a happy, loving 11 month old Siberian Husky puppy enjoying and loving life.  It was Memorial Day weekend, a reason to celebrate summer with friends and fun.  Kobe was tethered on a line and like many typical huskies, he escaped.  His owners thought that someone may have just taken him...They had no idea he would meet such a deplorable end.  The story is sad in and of itself, but what a lesson in human cruelty was taught to his young owners.  

Someone found him and tied him to the railroad tracks where his fate was sealed.  The line was knotted to the tracks, it was an intentional act of violence, not a tragic accident.  This was the act of someone without any respect for life.

Can you imagine what Kobe thought or felt? Can you imagine yourself the owner and getting the call from the sheriff's office.  Can you imagine another human being capable of such calous disregard for life?  Did he wait and watch?  Did he feel remorse?

An updated news story posted on Aug 19th indicate that there is a suspect, but no arrests have been made.

  4. I'm with all of you... I saw the headline yesterday and tried to ignore it for awhile... I didn't want to think that a human being could / would do something like this.

    It reminded me of a story that has haunted me since 1991! It still gives me chills to this day, the circumstances were very similar, I believe it took place in Massachusetts.

  5. I just don't understand how anyone could do something like that. They must be totally insane. I can only hope and pray that they are found and can be punished. I also hope that when their end comes it is just as painful and horrible as what happened to poor Kobe.

  6. It's a travesty to know there are people out there that can go through such horrible actions in front of a trusting face of an animal or pet. We must ensure that punishment for animal abuse is not just a slap on the hand and enforced by all means possible which entails public support & outrage. There are still a handful of states that do not provide felony provisions for animal cruelty.

  7. I agree "S. in MN" (I miss you, btw). I will do my best to be there for the hearing and try to rally some others there on this dog's behalf.
