Dog Survives After Being Poisoned and Buried Alive

(AP) – A Jack Russell terrier has survived after being poisoned and buried alive—and he can thank the man who saw the ground wiggle. Ethan came back to life on his third birthday after someone tried to kill him.
He had a whole chain of saviors: the man who dug him up, the firefighters who rushed him off, and a veterinarian who nursed him back to life. The vet in Charleville-Mezieres, 125 miles northeast of Paris, said that when firefighters brought the dirt-covered terrier to his office “he was completely cold, he was barely breathing.” He used hot water bottles to warm up Ethan’s body, got him hydrated, and within 24 hours the dog was back on his feet.
It happened earlier this week, when a man walking on a pedestrian path just happened to see the ground moving—an apparent result of convulsions from the dog’s poisoning. The man then got a shovel and dug the dog up. Ethan was identified through a microchip that showed all this happened on his third birthday. His owner says he had given the dog away, but police are investigating.

I have a Jack Russell. He is the most loyal, loving dog that I could imagine! Why anyone would do this to any dog is beyond me. On the one hand, it makes me sick that people like that exist, and on the other hand, my faith in humanity is restored by the good people that saved this beautiful doggy!
Sometimes one story can show the best and worst of humans. This is one. It fills one with pride in people and, at the same time, disgust for the unfeeling cruelty of some.
That is a gorgeous puppy. Three cheers to the man who found him, and a hopeful prison sentence for whoever harmed him. Go Ethan!
OMG! It is so scary how a human being can do something like that to an innocent creature. I’ll go give my dog a hug now.
