Jacob's Nightmare

They say the darkest night is just before dawn. For Jacob, the darkest night was Sunday, February 16th, when this poor mangy pit-bull was brutally attacked in Circle Pines of the Red Lake Reservation.
 Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue got the call that a dog was injured in a yard. We were sickened and appalled when we arrived to find Jacob in a fetal position against an outside wall near their porch with blood spatter all around and on the wall behind him. He was shaking and frightened and in shock.
 
 Angered and in shock ourselves, we loaded Jacob in a crate and took him to the vet where he was assessed to have been lacerated 4 times with what the vet described as a very sharp blade, knife, box cutter, or razor. There was considerable blood loss. We estimate that Jacob laid for about 12 hours before we got to him.
 We are also concerned that a dangerous person, capable of this kind of violence, is loose in the community where this person will injure other animals or people in the future.
 We would like to ask anyone who has information about this brutal attack to contact Red Lake Rosie’s at 218-268-4477.

      this is just sad to see that some one can be so cruel to abuse a dog in this way..if the owners did not want him they should of given him away to some one to love him ..and does anybody know whose house it was were Jacob was found ,can they be prosecuted for this horrible crime?

  2. OMG!! Who could possible do such a thing to a helpless animal, much less leave him to die like that? I hope they find the person(s) responsible for this as only God knows how many other animals of people he/they have injured or killed. I will be sending a check, Karen.

  8. What they should do if they find him is cut him up just like that, then throw him in jail

  10. If someone can do this to a defenseless animal, what could they do to a human being? Very sick person! Get the word out, please. Get this person off of the streets before something worse happens. Prayers for Jacob.

  11. This is so sad and scary. I shared in Hudson,wi. Red wing, mn and Woodbury, mn. let's keep sharing this on fb and let it be known we are seeking justice for this poor pup. We need safety for all animals on this earth. Safety for ourselves and all community members. The person who did this is a predator and must be stopped and receive mental help. So sad!

  18. When he recovers he will be a great dog. You should be commended for what you do. As a foster for another rescue, the things people do to animals makes me sick. God please watch over Jacob and let the scum who did this chime to justice soon.

  19. There is much evil in this world. Lets all fight it with love and kindness. Lets be angels for animals and people who suffer at the hand of hatred and cruelty.

  20. My heart breaks for Jacob. He had a guardian angel looking out for him to make it through until you could save him. I would adopt him him and spoil him rotten as he should have been from the start.

    1. People don't tolerate the abuse of any animal. This is a case of sadistic abuse solely to inflict pain on an innocent being. Anyone who is not sickened by this needs to reassess their values.

  23. This is truly sick! Whoever did this should have the same just treatment done until him/her. You cannot tell me that this person or persons is not out there abusing others! Whoever did this should be put away for life!

  24. Dogs and cats are domesticated animals, different than someone's
    reference to the killing of chickens, cows, pigs. Where is the RESPECT for ALL living creatures??......man, women, children, AND animals, domestic and wild.

  28. Why are there even dogs on reserves? Many other animals are abused in some form, not just this dog. The solution to this act of violence and mental issue is stop allowing these animals to be brought into this world to endure a horrible life, the government is at fault as well, govern these things....make the owners "pay" for spading and neutering. Spend some money and send some people to these places to help with this problem. They run around on reserves in packs, breed constantly....left to fend for themselves from birth, most don't make winter, and the cycle continues. It is a privilege to have these animals as companions, not a right! So grow up

What a crazy wast of human space this person (s) did I wish that they had the mind set to imagine if that was their own child I have a dog and he is like my kid if anyone ever did that to him man i dont know what I would do but the person who did it i would find them no matter the cost and they would pay ten times worse

  37. The creator has a special place for people who do cruel things like this to other living beings.I believe who ever has done this should confess.

  41. awful awful! Any updates on the perpetrator?

  42. oh my goodness - the poor critter ! ! ! I hope whoever did that was drunk & is not usually like that. Meanwhile you will be happy to know that Jacob has been adopted by a loving, gentle family. :-) I saw him recently & he is a happy dog ! He's healthy & well-nourished, curious and friendly, good with kids, just a very sweet animal & I am so glad he was rescued. :-) THANK YOU to "Rosie's", the vet, and whoever called the rescuers, and to all who donated to help him recover.
