he lives next door and his owners don't feed or water him. he was skin and bones when i moved in in July. he was stolen by a gang, from this woman's brother, and acid was poured all the way down his back.

i have rubbed vaseline, through the fence, on the scars and they don't itch as much and hair is slowly covering them.

i put hay in his house for winter time and just generally love him a lot. he isn't safe with cats, so any thoughts my family has had of "stealing" him has been for naught.

he's unneutered.....they have a young male and female in the front yard, on chains, and an english bulldog female.(which they let fight one another for "sport and entertainment for the children) (NONE are fixed) the little obnoxious child that lives over there told me they are going to raise "puppies" to sell.........eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

there is no city ordinance for a limit on how many dogs you can have and no regulations for chaining and shelter.....and nothing about backyard breeders......

but, i am working with the head of the shelter to change all of that. we go before the city council February 6th.

i ordered a ton of PETA material (for 3.00) to give out in front of stores against chaining.......robert calls me "Lockhart's New Game Warden"........

i'm sure you can tell from his eyes that he is so sweet. he grins and grins at me. pitbulls can really grin when they are happy.
