Dogs are meant to be loved and respected. So whenever we hear about people who happily abuse these beautiful creatures, the majority of us all get understandably enraged at the pure evil out there in the world.
Thankfully, for every horrible person, there are countless more who will do whatever it takes to save these wonderful animals. So when a local dad heard his neighbor’s dog screaming for help, he knew he had to call 911.
Alfie, a senior Golden Retriever, was kept outside by his former owners, chained up by the side of the house. His snout was muzzled with duct tape and his only bed was a cold slab of concrete. He wasn’t properly taken care of, and he was completely ignored, no matter how much he cried for help.

The cops couldn’t do much other than tell the owners to take better care of the animal, but when neighbors realized nothing was changing to help this poor senior dog, one dad realized he was going to have to take justice into his own hands!

Thank God for the neighbors. These animals abusers should have their mouths taped shut and left on a cold slab for atleast the age of the dog!

I really don’t understand how the police couldn’t get involved when the saw the dog with his muzzle taped shut. Makes no sense to me. I’m glad the dog got rescued by this brave man and I’m happy he didn’t get into trouble.

My God how cruel can people be. Don`t you have Rangers in Canada. All Dogs and cats in our shire have to be microchipped,you rarely see a stray, the ranger would pick one up in a flash. I`m not saying we don`t have cruelty but things have improved since new laws have come in.

Thank you sir for rescuing Alfie. Thank you to his new home and all the love and kindness he could want. Fortunately, he was lucky and could have all the love and kindness before he passed, so he could pass a happy pup.

His former owner ia a DINK!!!! Chain him and tape his mouth shut,cover the$#%&!@*in honey and throw him on an anthill !!!!

Soft muzzles are made so doggie can pant and breathe, and drink water. Duct tape will kill the dog, he cant pant, or take in water.
I think the former owner was trying to kill him.
