Great Dane Puppy Shot Several Times

POSTED: 7:21 pm EDT June 16, 2006
UPDATED: 7:28 pm EDT June 16, 2006

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — A Great Dane puppy is fighting for his life after being shot three or four times.

A volunteer for the Allen Babcock Dog and Cat Rescue spotted the dog, who has been named B.J., on the side of the road in Hendry County on Thursday night and rushed him to Hollywood Animal Hospital for lifesaving treatment.

He had been shot through the nose, jaw, foot and groin.

“This is a shame to have a pet go through this, to have somebody, be it kids or hunters, playing or just trying to kill him with a gun,” said Dr. James Dee of Hollywood Animal Hospital. “Unfortunately, in 32 years we’ve seen a lot and this pretty much ranks with some of the worst.”

Besides his shot wounds, the 6-month-old Great Dane is unable to walk and is so emaciated that his bones almost protrude through his skin.

Your Inner Muse is Thalia


You are most like this playful muse of comedy.
Life is all about laughter to you, and you’re a natural comic.
You make people laugh until their sides split.
And you’re always up for some play time!

Bubba Wayne and Billy Bob, who are both from Enid, Oklahoma, traveled to Lewisville, Texas for a vacation.

While walking along a busy downtown street, they see a sign in a store window which reads, “Suits $5.00 each, Shirts $2.00 each and Trousers $2.50 a pair.”

Bubba Wayne says,”Woo Hoo, Billy Bob! We could buy a whole gob of these clothes, take ‘em back to Enid, sell ‘em to all our friends and make a fortune fer us.” Bubba Wayne continues, “Now when we go in there, don’t you say a word, okay? Just let me do the talkin’ ’cause if they hear your Okie accent, they might think we’re ignorant, and they won’t wanna sell them clothes to us. Now, I’ll talk in a slow, fake Texan drawl so’s they won’t know.”

They go in and Bubba Wayne says with his best fake Texan drawl, “I’ll take 50 of them thar suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them thar shirts at $2.00 each, and 50 pairs of them thar trousers at $2.50 each. I’ll just back up my pickup and……”

The owner of the shop interrupts, “Ya’ll from Oklahoma, ain’cha?”

“Well….yeah,” says a surprised Bubba Wayne. “How come’d you know that?”

The owner replies, “Cause this here’s a dry-cleaners.”

Is it just me, or is catnip like legal pot for cats? My cats go nuts for it, especially Socks. He cries for it if anyone goes near the mantel where it sits. Then he pushes the other cats out of the way to get to it. Then he has to spend 15 minutes rolling around in it. Here’s a photo of him upside down, looking at me after he got tired of batting at the camera.
