I've been mulling this over all night in my head. I know I'm not in a good place right now and probably aren't thinking the clearest. My neighbors have an absolutely beautiful pit bull. I think they said she's a german blue or something like that but she's gorgeous.
The issue is she keeps getting out of their yard. She usually ends up on my front porch and I have to take her back. Well when I take her back they yell and scream at her. Yesterday when I brought her back my neighbor grabbed her by a leg and just jerked her into the house and threw her behind him. I was floored and couldn't even speak and then slam the door was shut. Last night while letting my dogs out to go potty I saw the man's son throw the dog off their back porch. I mean literally pick up and throw her over the railing onto the ground. That's it I can't just sit by and let her get treated like that. There aren't any marks on her and I've dealt with animal control here before. If you call in abuse it's your word against the owner's word.
I don't know what to do.  My first impulse is just take her the next time she shows up on my porch. I have a friend that does pit rescue and she'd be glad to have her. She's such a good loving puppy! All she wants is love. I've never seen them so much as pet her or play with her at all. When she pops up on my porch she's all kisses and please pet me. I always love on her a bit before I have to take her back. She's breaking my heart because lately when she gets out she's been ducking when I reach for her or she just hits the ground and gives me belly. A dog's reaction should not be flinching or flat out submission just because you reach for them!
Would it be wrong to take her and give her to someone that will give her the love and affection she deserves? I'm just lost on this but I can't continue to stand by and watch it happen
