I would like to know the details about this dog - Page 1

I'm sorry but I really hardly post on here anymore let along about a picture I just saw. I really hope this isn't animal abuse but it does look like it to me, and why in the world would anyone think this picture is alright to put up here? My mouth dropped when I saw this. Would like to know what everyone else thinks. Maybe it's not abuse but would like to hear from the people that own her. If they can't afford to feed her I will gladly take her in. unless someone is playing a very bad joke on picture's.

sorry here is the pedigree. www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/500248.html

Shocking!  Why would anyone post a pedigree picture like that!  If they don't think that picture sends a red flag, it looks like a case for the ASPCA to me.

 It is definatley abuse.  Look at that poor dog.  The person who owns this dog should be charged and the dog removed from their possession.  It looks like an older dog, so who knows how long it has suffered.  Who ever owns this dog and if you own any others, please place them with somone who will care properly for him.

I did a quick check on Yahoo and found the GSDCA-WDA 2006 Show Results which shows a Britta vom Bethel and the owner was Josie Mariduena.  Don't know if it still is or not.

Sickening.  I hope someone finds out who really does have this dog if someone is playing a prank.  This is horrible.

well if it is 2006  and VP rating the dog was under 1 year of age so this makes this dog about 3 years old  now.  Well a prank would not produce such a horrible picture :(((  This is an actual picture of some poor starving dog

Did Zaba search and this person lives in news jersey here is her info. http://www.zabasearch.com/query1_zaba.php?sname=JOSIE+MARIDUENA&name_style=1&state=ALL

Pia, yes it is a real pic of a real dog that is in desperate need of help.    I meant that if the actual picture was put in place of someone else's real dog as a prank.  Sorry to have confused my words.

 Whomever owns this dog should have been charged. The dog is either very ill with parasites or some other problem or not being fed, or both. I hope someone living in the area where the supposed owner lives can do some private follow up.
