Some things just get to you like nothing else, you would think I have been doing rescue long enough to become hardened to it and to an extent I have, but sometimes there are times when you just have to ask WHY?
Sadly, a dog a Labrador, that no one could save, he was far to aggressive to ever be rehomed, the kennels tried so hard to befriend him, but sadly he was deemed dangerous.
Who made you so afraid of humans that you had to be caught by the DW with a rope and pole because you lashed out in the only way you knew how?
What made you so afraid that no amount of human compassion could show you that life could be good?
You served your seven days with no hope of reprieve, a sad and stark reminder that for many dogs the needle is the only release from a life of fear and anger.
Who and what made you that way we will never know.
Run free boy, I hope that you will find peace and love at the bridge.
I am so sorry I couldn't save you, please forgive me.

In memory of all the dogs we couldn't save, for all the outcasts the unwanted the unloved, those who's lives have no value, that can be cast aside like a broken toy.
A Rescuers Creed
I shall be a believer of all that is good in man and of all that is deserving in animals. I shall plead for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold their right to a natural death. I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the abandoned and tend to them in their last days. I shall not forget their place in the hierarchy of life, nor that we walk in each other's paths. I shall bear witness to the wonder they bring into our lives and to the beauty they bestow upon our souls. I shall renew their spirits when they are waning, bind their wounds when they bleed, cradle them when they whimper, and comfort them when they mourn. I shall be near them in their hour of greatest need - a companion and friend when the time has come. I shall watch over them and console them and ask that the angels gather them in their arms. From the creatures of the earth I shall learn the fruits of compassion and undying love, and I shall be called the beloved of God. In their company I shall indeed be blessed.

No more lonely cold nights or hearing that I'm bad
No more growling belly from the meals I never had.
No more scorching sunshine with a water bowl that's dry.
No more complaining neighbors about the noise when I cry.
No more hearing "shut up", "get down" or "get out of here"!
No more feeling disliked, only peace is in the air.
Euthanasia is a blessing, though some still can't see
why I was ever born If I weren't meant to be.
My last day of living was the best I ever had.
Someone held me very close, I could see she was very sad.
I kissed the lady's face, and she hugged me as she cried.
I wagged my tail to thank her, then I closed my eyes and died.

Natalie I am so sorry, you did everything you could.
You do a hard job that is rewarding some times and then others, soul destroying that you are unable to save them all.
Run free lad, Im sorry whoever took you on in the realms of being your owner have let you down so badly.

I don't know why this one got to me, it was when I was speaking with the kennels about Skye who we were saving from destruction and she mentioned this boy, he didn't even have a name, no microchip to identify him, and unknown Black lab.
I knew from what she said there was absolutely no way he was going to get out, and being as aggressive as he was he couldn't ever be rehomed.
I don't even know why I posted really, just sometimes it feels better to 'let it all out'

I don't know you in person Natalie but I've read alot of your posts and you are truly an angel sent to be a guardian for the canine community. If you can't watch over them on this earth you make sure they get to rainbow bridge safely. It must be so rewarding at times, it's just a terrible shame it's not everytime.
you are only human Natalie, you really do such a good job that there will be times when things will get to you.
Im sorry that you feel so sad about this dog. Run free black boy - perhaps it would help to give this boy a name to help give him an identity and not be so lost? to help send him free running at the bridge.
I dont think it is appropriate for me to suggest a name but I have sent a little prayer to a "named" black boy.

In the very first place, something or someone would have made this dog behave 'in too aggressive a manner'. What, why, whom, how? It just doesn't seem fair or right.
