MSPCA - Help dogs like Bear

Below is an email I received from the MSPCA in Boston, MA. It's a horribly sad story, but it reminds us that we can help make a difference in animals' lives. If you're interested in donating, please follow the link to the MSPCA site. Thanks,

Just a few days ago, our Law Enforcement department filed several counts of animal cruelty against a man accused of cruelly beating three small dogs. You might have seen this case in the news.

Let me be honest with you: “cruelly beating” is an understatement. These three little dogs – a two-year-old Pomeranian named Emmy, a three-month-old Dachshund named Romeo, and a five-month-old Beagle-mix named Bear – endured what no living being should have to endure.

They collectively suffered head trauma, pulmonary contusions, a collapsed lung, a fractured ulna, traumatic bleeding into the abdomen, eye trauma that resulted in the removal of the eye, a fractured jaw, a fractured skull, a fractured shoulder, a fractured rib cage, and severe sepsis (harmful bacteria in the bloodstream).

Bear, the Beagle-mix, died of his injuries, triggering the complaint that led our officers to bring charges against the alleged perpetrator. Our deputy director called the case “deeply troubling.” That is an understatement as well. Let me assure you that we will follow this case very carefully to see that justice is served on behalf of these innocent animals. That is our job.

But we cannot do our job well unless you help us. I’m asking you to make a gift to the MSPCA right now in memory of Bear, an innocent little dog whose cruel death can only have meaning if we’re able to continue our work every day of the year fighting to prevent cruelty to animals.

Please make your generous gift in memory of Bear.

We are not helpless if you help us. Thank you so much for opening your heart, once more, for the animals.

Sincerely,



Carter Luke
