Update on the pup that I named Buddy. The X Rays came back and it is a very sad report but I need to update all who have supported this pup and opposed the vicious act brought upon him. It is with sadness that I tell you, his left hip and leg was completely destroyed beyond repair, it would need to be amputated, his right hip and leg is busted in three places and will need to be plated to save it. If we do this surgery it would take months of recovery and therapy for him to recover, the down side is, he would be in constant pain and eventually his right leg would give up leaving him no back legs. To be in constant pain everyday is hard on humans, I cannot imagine letting an animal suffer, I know what he is going through, I was electrocuted with 7,200 volts of electricity and forty two RE constructive surgeries later, I can tell you life is harder especially after having my left arm amputated, its a constant struggle and I am constantly making sacrifices to better my future and the future of others. I cannot possibly in my heart watch Buddy suffer anymore so the decision was made to put him to rest, it was a decision that came with a lot of tears and weighing the options Buddy would have after surgery, it was so hard to walk in the room and watch him get excited to see me and Maxine , We set with him and loved on him. This decision has broke our hearts to do but its what is best for buddy, we hope you understand . We want to thank everyone of you that have stood by Buddy and us through this, words cannot explain our gratitude. To all of you that have defended the driver of that car , I want you to know that I signed the papers and took ownership of this pup and I named him Buddy, please tell your heartless friend that the owner of Buddy wants to cover the damages to his car, please remit all estimates of damages to PO Box 54 Garrett, Ky with your name and address so you will get what is owed to you , now that I am Buddys owner I feel it is my responsibility. To anyone that can help, I am asking you to please make a donation to Dumas Rescue in Memory of Buddy, Dumas Rescue is one of the largest Animal Rescues in Eastern KY. They go through thousands of dollars a year in supplies to help and take care of Animals until they can find them a Forever home, The woman that does all of this by donation and sacrifice is Tonya Ratliff Conn, If you make a donation please makes checks to Dumas Rescue and mail them to PO Box 153 Garrett, KY 41630 We especially want to thank Beaver Creek Veterinary Hospital for their wonderful caring help during all of this and making Buddy as comfortable as possible. All of you are greatly appreciated, God has a great reward for you in Heaven. I want to leave you with some truths concerning how important Animals are to God . Wild Animals–His eye is on the sparrow: In addition to domesticated animals, God also watches over wild animals and commands us to do the same. In Deuteronomy 22:6-7, God promises a long life to those who will watch over wild birds. If we rape the land or the creatures in it, what will sustain us in the future? He allows for the taking of eggs, but commands that we release the mother bird to continue living in the wild and reproducing as He intended. In Job 38:41, God says that He hears the cries of newborn ravens crying to Him for food. Jesus went on to say that God supplies food for the wild birds and that not one of them falls to the ground without Him knowing it. These small, but kind and practical commands written throughout the Bible give us good insight into how God expects us to treat animals. Surely we will have to answer to Him for any abuse that we have committed against them. God created animals for us to love and to learn from. In them, we see our own dependence upon God illustrated in their dependence upon us. We can also see elements of our foolishness manifested in them (who has not seen a crowing rooster and laughed at the comic caricature of ourselves crowing to all the world in our foolish pride at times?) In addition, God also tells us to learn from their wisdom: “Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest” (Proverbs 6:6-8). Although worship of animals as deities is strictly forbidden in Scripture, we are to respect them as a part of God’s creation. Some believe that because only humans were created in God’s image, they alone are worthy of respect and care. Yet, the Bible tells us that even the angels were not created in God’s image, yet we are to respect them! We are to respect all of God’s created order, not to worship facets of it, but to see in it the same call that we ourselves have, which is to glorify God. All of God’s creation was made with the ability and the power to glorify Him, each in different ways. In this, animals, as well as humans, share a common element with the rest of creation. Perhaps the words from these Psalms say it best of all: Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him from the heights above. Praise him all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon, praise him all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created. He set them in place forever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away. Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightening and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding, you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth young men and maidens, old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens. Psalm 148: 1-13 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Psalm 150:6 Some people don’t abuse animals, but go to the opposite extreme and place animals above human life. This was not God’s intention either, but rather that He wanted to bless mankind with a wonderful world of creatures that we could enjoy and with that enjoyment, He also holds us responsible, as to how we treat and care for them. May we all take that responsibility seriously, as we shall be judged for the way we treat animals and all of God’s creation.
