PENSACOLA, Fla. - Whimpers a man heard while doing yard work turned out to be a dog buried alive in a neighbor's backyard. Robbie Wilson said he peaked over his fence and saw the dog's nose poking out of the ground Sunday, a day after he first heard the cries for help. It was not known how long the dog was buried.

Wilson's fiancee, Melissa Vanderpool, called for help. The responding animal control officer, Wilson and one of his friends spent more than a half hour using shovels to carefully dig out the dog.

Once out, it walked around and then collapsed. It's being treated at an animal hospital for dehydration.

"The dog was in the ground," Vanderpool said. "It had dirt all over it. I don't know how it got there. It seems like every few minutes he stretched his neck up and could get his nose through the (small) hole."

The Escambia County Sheriff's Office was investigating it as an animal cruelty case. Sgt. Mike Ward said no one has been charged and declined to release information regarding the owner of the property where the dog was found.

Bruce Rova, director of the Escambia County Animal Regulation and Control, said the dog was expected to recover.

"It's pretty severe. I'd compare it to the worse case I've ever seen." Rova said. But "it looks like it's going to make it. That is what I am so happy about."

that is just plain sad. being an animal lover myself, reading stories like this makes me want to punch people who get their laughs on animal cruelty.

This topic title reminded me of this story on the Early Show this morning with a dog that got shot. The people who owned it keep suing the guy that shot it and keep appealing when they lose. They want to take it all the way to the surpreme court...

Poor doggy. My friend hid a tiny day-old dog in his jacket all class today, and when he finally revealed it the teacher, she went crazy. Apparently, she loves her dog and is now on a life mission to make sure that every single one in her her power is super. She would go nutzo over this article.

I don’t like this. It makes me feel extremely sick for these cruel people who had no conscience for a poor dog to be buried alive. That’s just ridiculous. It’s not even funny at all. If someone doesn’t like the dog, they should drop it all to an animal station. At least, let the dog alive and let it go. There’s no reason to be cruel.
