Thieves steal and gang-rape pet dog whose owner had tied it up outside supermarket while she shopped

A Berlin woman was reunited with her stolen dog on Sunday only to be told by vets that it had been gang raped.

Kessie, a three-year-old Bardino-Galgo mix, was stolen from outside an Edeka supermarket in the Neukölln area of Berlin while her owner was inside on Wednesday.

Vets believe that while missing, the pet was gang raped by the thieves, and received external and internal injuries.

Kessie's owner, who is known as Lena H, 30, discovered that her dog was missing when she left the store, and put up missing dog signs with her flatmate. On Thursday she was phoned by an animal shelter in nearby Lichtenberg, to say that the pet was with them.

I only do it when I need one or two items. I'm in and out in just a few minutes. I tie her near the smokers bench, where there is always a few people. Someone is always willing to watch her for a few minutes.

some unknown reason, the dog somehow turned the can over fatally injuring the dog.

The other thing, from my viewpoint, is that anyone could easily untie the leash and walk off with the dog. I'm one of those nuts that thinks my dog is a child and so it would be like leaving my child tied out in public.

If my remark offended you, I apologize.

There are plenty of dumb-ass pet owners out there. I tie her to a tree or a fire hydrant. She barks at anyone coming near her. She wouldn't go willingly or without a fight. She's a small rescue that had been abused. She makes a lot of noise when she's frightened, so she would make quite a scene if someone tried to take her.

I wouldn't do that with our previous dogs because they were too friendly.

with strangers? Based on her history, I wonder if this frightens her.

Sorry, I don't mean to criticize. I have a lab mix, and I'd never leave him out due to someone possibly taking him.

I've watched her from where she couldn't see me. I don't really leave her with anyone, just near them. Her biggest problem is separation anxiety. She just watches the door, waiting for my return.

Check out the zoophiles..

Still legal in some countries to give your goat a little wine and bring it in for bedtime

I guess that's what boredom does to a people-

I worked at a dog grooming salon for 6 years. I saw things there that I can never forget. The dog I saw right after he was sodomized and then rescued was a very small dog and we had to be extra careful while he healed. It took lots of trips to the vet and a long time for him to heal, physically. He was rescued by one of the nicest people after that horror happened to him, but that haunted look never did leave that little dog's eyes. He only ever truly healed physically.

How do they know it was a gang of thieves (human? dog?)? What if it was just one dog-fucker who had her puppy and had more than one go? Has this person(s) done this before? Is there a pattern of dog rape in the area? Must be the communist college boys...

Thank you, British tabloids, for making me ponder dog-fuckers...

seriously a group of like minded animal rapists, how do they find one another, the internet? is it statistically posible for them to have known each other already and someone said let's all go swipe someone's dog and take turns fucking it? do random dog fucker clusters appear from time to time randomly in the population?

I can't imagine going up to anybody I know and asking if they wanted to sexually assault a dog with me (or without me because just eww).

especially those involving the very very young and abuse of one's own children or very helpless individuals, heavy meth use is often part of the equation. Rapes, kidnapping and enslavement of others, selling their own kids asses to get high, heavy meth users seem capable of anything.

even imagine the motive. Robing a bank would be one example in which I grasp the motive. Someone who feels gravely wronged killing someone in revenge is another crime in which I obviously don't approve and cannot imagine ever doing. But I can imagine the motive. Gang raping a dog is a crime in which I cannot for the life of me even conceive of the motive.
