I had this in the mail round up, but my blood is boiling over this so I had to give this news its own post. If someone can do this to a dog, imagine how they treat children.

A New Jersey woman has been charged with four counts of animal cruelty after authorities accused of her dumping a starved 1-year-old pit bull down a trash chute.I weep when I see stories like this. I wish I had the capability to save more pits from such sorry fates. It's why I post Pam's Pit Picks of the Week on Facebook (and on occasion, PHB). The Durham AP temperaments the pits and pix mixes up for adoption, noting which like other dogs, cats, etc. They make wonderful family pets if you're not a first-time dog owner and know basics of obedience training.

Patricia Scavelli, an administrator at GSVS, said when hospital officials first saw Patrick they "didn't think he'd make it through the night." Patrick will be put up for adoption if he continues to improve and recovers, doctors said.
Tender hugs to little Patrick. How many more never made it through the cruelty. There is a Facebook page for the little guy, called "The Patrick Miracle."
