A Tennessee native became surprised when a severely battered and abused pit bull wandered on to her porch last Friday, in search of nothing other than care! The Tennessee resident took to craig list and posted a lengthy message to its previous owners, expressing exactly how she felt about the dog’s negligence and suspected participation in dog fighting.. ” Your pit bull found me… and I’m not giving her back”, hit the jump for more!
The new caretaker of “Mama Jade” the pit bull, took to Craigs list to voice her thoughts on the horrendous wounds on the pit bull, including her suspicion of “relentless breeding” required of the pit and its participation in dog fights. The tennessee native posted:
“With each bite of her they took and each yelp she cried, they’d look at you for reassurance. Because all they wanted to do was please you… Loyalty is in their blood. Violence is not.”
“Mama Jade’s” new owner went on to explain that the dog is actually very nice to humans but is terrified of dogs. She revealed that the dog is tragically being put down because of her intense battle against cancer:
“Tomorrow, Mama will finally feel peace. And when she closes her eyes and takes her last breath, I’ll be there. I’ll hold her big ol head and I’ll tell her how much I love her. And when her soul has left her battered body and I’ve dried the tears enough to see, I will document every bruise, every bite, every cut, scrape and gash. I’ll photograph her teeth, or rather, where her teeth used to be. I’ll turn in all the evidence and post it where EVERYONE will see it. I’ll use it to educate kids in heavily crime ridden areas, on the horrors of dog fighting. If you could do that to a dog, you should not be allowed in everyday society. And teaching our children right from wrong is the only way to put a stop to this.”
The craigslist post and story began gaining popularity and spreading quickly, causing for many to sympathize with the new owner and many went as far as offering any kind of help to the dog in need! Although the native seemed to have lost faith in humanity after the dog’s negligence, the public support received, caused for a change of heart, Huffpost reports:
“Literally thousands” of emails from people had come in offering to help Mama Jade. “The response … has restored a lot of my faith in humanity,” the update reads. “Many people and charities have asked if they could donate funds for Mama to get the treatment for her cancer.”
By popular demand, a Facebook page for Mama Jade was set up. In only eight hours, it has received more than 15,000 likes. She continued to state: “Thanks the overwhelming response I received from posting Mama Jade’s story on Craigslist, this girl is getting yet another chance to live a beautiful life,” the Facebook page reads. “From the bottom of my heart, I can’t thank everyone enough for the kind words & incredible support.”
Sad Story with a happy ending!
