Some Jerk Dragged This Dog on the Back of a Bike Until He Passed Out … Then They Beat Him!

Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue is sharing the story of Justice, a poor dog who is in need of a lot of love and affection. Witnesses saw Justice being pulled along on a bike by a cord until he lost consciousness. The man then got off the bike and began beating the dog … with the bike. Thankfully, some kind residents intervened and saved Justice from his abuser and then called Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue for help.

Here is Justice just after rescue being taken care of on the side of the road. 

You can see the poor state he is in, how dirty he is from being dragged for so long. Justice’s rescuers put out bowls of food and water, but this poor little boy was in too much shock to have an appetite for anything.

Justice was taken for medical treatment at Center Line Veterinary Hospital. He has hair loss all over his back from being dragged, and he also appears to have a bullet lodged in his side. The vets are putting him at around seven or eight years old; we can only imagine what an awful life he has lived so far.

Justice is currently receiving pain medication and is on fluids. Thankfully, Justice doesn’t have any broken bones. He is going to make a full recovery, but as you would imagine, this will take time, and he is very traumatized.

Here is Justice tucked up in blankets, receiving some love and attention after his ordeal. What he will need more than anything once this is over is a loving, forever home to show him that life does not have to be this unkind. Take care, Justice, we hope you get better soon!

We wish that Justice’s story was a unique one, but this is not the first time we have heard of a dog being dragged down the street. If a pet owner can no longer care for the member of their family they chose to bring into their home, there are so many other ways of getting them responsibly rehomed that do not involve this kind of abuse.

Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue is a crew of street volunteers who work together to get as many stray, injured, pregnant, and destitute dogs off the streets as possible. If you are able to help Donate towards Justice’s medical care or want to keep updated on his condition, please get in touch.
