Three hours later on our way home the pit bull puppy is still there barking. Some horsey white girls are exercising ponies on the other side of the fence. The pit bull puppy is distracting the ponies with her whimpering. The guy sitting under the tree near the pit bull puppy hails me because I have a pit bull. I hitch Pashelle to a tree a good distance away from the puppy and investigate.
Turns out the pit bull puppy was abandoned there that day. The guy under the tree said he was homeless and couldn't have a puppy. When some cops came by, he told the cops. He said he was waiting for someone from the park to come pick up the pup.
The pup was very very cute, but a little skinny. I gave the pup some water to drink.
I wished I could take the pup home but Pashelle would probably have a problem with that.
The horsey girls were not unsympathetic. They said "how could anybody leave a poor little puppy out here like that." They are right, that was fucked up. but at least they left the pup where people would find her, and didn't just dump her in the park to run loose and get hit by a car, etc.
I imagine it was a child who brought the pup home without permission and mom finally told him to get rid of the dog. It's not easy to get to the remote city animal care and control centers from where I live (there are only two in the entire city one in upper Manhattan one in Brooklyn). They are far away. And you can't bring dogs on the train or bus. You really need a car to get to the one in Brooklyn. IF only HSUS and PETA would build an intake center where people could actually bring their unwanted animals instead of being forced to dump them in the park.
Notice the puppy's appealing expression and tulip ears. The pup was very friendly. She liked the water but I had no food.
This dog was very vocal. She tried to talk to me! Pashelle never vocalizes the way this dog did. It was like she was saying "take me home!" I bet I could have trained her to be a "singing circus dog" in no time. But she probably is a barker who'd get me in trouble with the landlord and shit. Here she is trying to talk to me!
"What am I doing here! I want to go home! Where's the food!!!???"
After I gave the pup some water, a couple of parks guys came up in a golf cart, the latest fashionable transport in the 526 acre park. We told them the pup was friendly so they took her up and sat her on the floor between them in the golf cart and off they went. And that's the last I saw of this adorable pit bull puppy. I hope someone smart adopts this sweet dog, who seems nice like Pashelle, and is very energetic, she was jumping up and down on her spring like legs, typical pit. She looked clean, but her off fore foot was a little sore since she was favouring it. She was very hungry from the looks of her. Bendito.
