When I heard about this story a few days ago I didn't want to post it on EBN because honestly it's just so heartbreaking. This poor dog was tortured and was found in just the next town over from me at a park, she was left there to die. It really hit home that the person who did this to Puppy Doe is still out there so close to where I live, and a good chance that this person could be torturing another dog.
The only reason why I decided to post this now is because it has been recently found out that Puppy Doe was once loved in a loving home. Her previous owner recognized her on the news, she said that her landlord forced her to give Puppy Doe, to her known as Kiya, away because of BSL (Breed Specific Legislation). She thought nothing of selling her on Craigslist thinking she was going to her forever loving home. I am not posting this to bash anyone who has bought or sold a dog on Craigslist, I bought Gio from a very similar site, Ebay Classifieds; I am posting this for people as a warning, people need to use caution when buying a dog on these sites and especially selling on these sites. I have been crying for days every time I think of sweet Puppy Doe, it's just not fair. And the worst part of this story is the fact that BSL is the reason this dog is where she is now. People need to stop blaming the breed.
I am posting a link to a news article about this story and also the facebook page called Justice for "Puppy Doe". The facebook page posted puppy pictures from the original owner so we can see Puppy Doe in happier days. RIP sweet girl.
*Sorry for my ranting, this story has just been eating away at me since I have read it.
