Police are still investigating the circumstances of a dog that had been rescued from a South Carolina roadside. Now called Rambo, he is recovering from injuries that are consistent with being what’s called a bait dog in the dog fighting world. They’re used to train, and make fighting dogs meaner. Many bait dogs do not survive very long, and not unlike Rambo, are often abandoned when they are no longer “of use.”
Two women driving down Vernsdale Road in Rock Hill City when they noticed Rambo laying on the side of the road. The women reported that the area may be a common dumping ground for former fighting dogs. There was another dog carcass near where Rambo was discovered, and also some various bones scattered around.
The two good Samaritans brought the injured dog to a 24-hour emergency animal hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina. He has yet to undergo surgery to remove a badly damaged part of one of his ankles, and one of his other legs may yet need amputation.
“The left one is still questionable so he does not have normal pain sensation or normal blood flow to it,” said Dr. Laura Dvorak. Dr. Dvorak is a vet with the Charlotte Animal Referral and Emergency Hospital.
It didn’t take but two seconds of Dr. Dvorak seeing Rambo for her to suspect he was a bait dog. The types of injuries that he has, and the severity of them are a dead giveaway that some sort of human was at very least badly abusing him, if not using him for fight training.
“Having the tourniquet effect on the back legs seems to make us believe that some human was involved that he had to have ties around his ankles to have that type of injury,” said Dr. Dvorak.
Due to the location Rambo was found in, there are now many law enforcement agencies working the investigation into how Rambo got to where he was. Captain Mark Bollinger with the Rock Hill Police is one of those investigators, and said that the area is now heavily patrolled, and police are asking the public for assistance in finding Rambo’s abusers.
“What we’re doing now is being proactive from this point moving forward, we’re going to step up monitoring of the area,” said Captain Bollinger.
creeps
Sad there are human beings that are so heartless, happy this baby was saved from anymore torture on his poor body. The perpetrators of this kind of cruelty on innocent animals will pay dearly, here or on the other side of rainbow bridge.
Hunt them down and bring them to justice, real justice. Make an example of them…
I’m unable to open the article… can anybody tell me what city or county this happened in.
the dog was dumped on Vernsdale Road in Rock Hill City
There will be NO MERCY for those who have not shown Mercy to others and that includes animals. But if you have been Merciful, God Will be Merciful when he judges you. – James 2:13
Where was ‘god’ when the abuse was occurring? I’ll bet a nickle the perps claim to be god-fearing Christians.
Makes me sick! There is a special place in hell for these people!
Evil people so glad he is safe now
Thread says Rock Hill City. SOUTH CAROLINA
Hmm, I think those people should be put in a cage and all of us have some big sticks and just beat the hell out of them and see how they like it…
Amen to that
very sad i am sorry heard that i prayer dog all get better bless you i always love you dogs <3
There needs to be a way to eliminate all of the stupid F____ in this world!!
Poor Rambo!
I am sure the dog would have died a thousand deaths everyday by being used as a bait dog . Poor animal … Can’t think of the pain n misery he went through . Hope the perpetrators are severely punished .
It breaks my heart to see what humans do to not only each other but to innocent animals. The laws have to be stronger, people have to report what they see/know, mental health help needs to be more accessable… to those who enjoy this, cause something is wrong with them!

Prayers for Rambo’s speedy recovery. Get well soon, baby.
That could turn me into a killer if I came across abuse like this..
I would be in prison if I ever seen anyone do this to a dog. Fuckin people piss me off
This makes me so cross this poor dog I would love to do the same to the people who did this thanks to the people who found him God bless
This is so sickening and this monsters need to be found. Bless the ones that don’t turn away❤️
sick people
He’s probably a sweet doggie regardless of being taught to “be mean”. Animal abusers make me sick and there is a special place in hell reserved just for them. 😛
I hope they catch the heartless SOB’S responsible for this and put them in jail for a long time!!!
He wasn’t one of the dogs stolen within the past twp years, was he? So good they found him in time. Lucky dog. So sweet of the women that found him.
SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING! If you know who did this to this precious fur baby…Please turn them in….if you don’t your as EVIL as they are. The EVIL person(s) who is responsible for this crime … I’m sure there’s a hog farmer out there that would love to feed you to his hogs…. no jail time for you….your pure protein for the stockyard.
Heck, the hogs would probably get sick from eating their asses! Those people are so vile!
Everytime i read a story here ,some are good,some are really pretty bad 🙁 how are we going to stop this? What can we do to finally put end to this activities from happening over and over again? I feel so numb and helpless just sitting here looking through facebook and commenting here but really i have not helped in any way to ease the pain of these poor dogs,yet my heart is breaking inside to think that another dog or dogs ,are suffering somewhere out there,i look in my own dog ‘s eyes and i feel sorry that another kind of him is out there needing all the love that my own dog is recieving and vice versa(our dog giving us his unconditional love) , what do we do? Coz i dont have money to help but i wanted to help in a way that i could.
Continue to love your dog and keep it safe. When the time comes to get another dog, adopt a rescue dog. Support your local rescuers by helping foster a dog if you can, or help when they have adopt-a-thons and other events.
Show kindness to those around you so that your kindness works out into the world in waves. Pray that the warped abusers can experience kindness –maybe they haven’t had any in their lives yet. Maybe it would change them if they did experience some even now.
There must be more ways too …..
God bless
God bless and get well
i wish we could shoot and kill the people who run these dog fighting rings…….and yes i mean kill them!!!!
Thank you to his rescuers!
Hope they get the scum of the earth low life WALKERS!!!!
RAMBO SENDING ♡♡♡♡
This infuriates me.
Once again I say people r the animals
Time to prosecute and take the assets of the person who did this to the poor dog. Leave them penniless !!! Hoping for fast karma for this person ….
Whoever has done this I hope you get your karma very soon, evil scum!
When the evil abusers are found who have this ring are found, just shoot them.
How can we stop these awful practices? Should we start a petition? I’m tired of reading about these poor creatures!!!! I’m really mad!!!
This saddens and infuriates me.
It has got to stop!!!
Who could hurt a defenseless animal, child or elderly person?
What is wrong with people?
The laws need to be more stringent in these cases, in every state.
Imprisonment!!!
Lock their sorry ass’s away so they can not harm anyone else!
All dog fighters will burn in hell slowly for all eternity! They are the lowest of the lowlife scum of the earth. I would love to tie whoever did this by the ankles and let his fighting dogs eat him alive!!
Sick busterd
I mean bastards.
effing bastards!!
SICK FSSSS AGAIN!!! END IT!!!! SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCUM AGAIN SORRY ABOUT MOUTH!! I AM LIVID AGAIN! There have been sooo many SICK things being done to these LOVES!!!!!! Alot recently RAPEING DOGS AND HANGING THEM !!!!! SICK REALLY EVIL HORRIFYING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS OUR WORLD???????
Need to line up all these pieces of trash that are involved in dog fighting along with child predators & lay into them with a bullwhip until they’re a bloody pulp.
The human race should be ashamed ..my girl was a bait dog too ..hope this angel heals quickly and thank god for amazing people that rescued her!! ??…my girl now…
I think I’m going to have to turn-off my notifications from Life With Dogs because these posts are too traumatizing to have to view on a daily basis…. 🙁
Sickening to see this maggots who condemn fighting rings should be skinned alive with a dull knife an suffer a bullet thru the head …. I hate you
I believe the punishment (administered 100x’s more heinously) should fit the crime. I have personally seen only a fraction of unspeakable acts against animals as an animal rescuer..Animal abusers are so below sub-human & blatant cowardly parasites.
May St. Francis protect all animals.
He’s alive you Sick redneck bastards
God bless this pooch.
Porque tanta crueldad!
These people need to spend time in prison for animal abuse.
Бедный!!!
MAKES ME SICK!!! POOR POOR FUR BABIES! I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS!! YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME SERIOUS MENTAL PROBLEMS TO BE A PART OF THIS TYPE OF ABUSE…JUST DISGUSTING .. MY HEART GOES OUT TO RAMBO AND ALL OF THE OTHER ANIMALS THAT SUFFER ANY ABUSE.
The person that responsible for dog fighting should get life in prison because how many dogs have died behind this and maybe this will stop
Is this it Teresa Tripp White
Agree…………..jail jail jail………..for a friggin looooonng….. time….this is horrible animal abuse & cruelty.. :'( :'( …heartbreaking unacceptable …………
Poor Baby !!! Now you re safe !!! Good LUCK RAMBO ❤️
I hope the police will find the person who did this evil to this cute dog. There should be a law in force to outlaw dog fighting and abusing of dogs. Have also very stiff penalties and imprisoment to the person responsible for the abuse of the dog and jail term for along time.
I swear I’ve never felt rage like I do for animal abusers, they need to be jailed and tortured like they do to these animals.
Poor sweet baby. Thank-you for helping him
Seriously??? Rock Hill police don’t give a damn about the animals there. That’s a bunch of bullshit. I used to call on a badly treated pitbull puppy and they said they can’t do anything about it. Animal control in Rock Hell is also a joke. Only open 8-5 Mon-Fri. No after hours for these poor animals here.
Men who fight dogs have NO Ball’s. Real men get in the ring with other men to fight,. They don’t use helpless dogs!! Scum bags!
Prayers sweet baby
Bless them for the rescue!
#ashamedofmyspecies
❤️❤️ poor thing!i hope you find these disgusting humans and punish them to the worst! Please keep saving all these poor babies xxx
Capital punishment….or euthanasia!!!!
Human filth that did this to this poor dog!
Thank you ladies for saving him, and may all people involved in dog fighting be caught and thrown in jail. In the end, you have to answer to a higher power.
It is the filthyist. stupidist. Slime of humanity a blot of scum. Put up a reguest fpr donations to put serveilance and tips people like these and their gambling friends willyurn on each other for money.
There must be punishment that meets this sadistic cr8me. Put them in prison with shackels on most people in prison do care.because if people like the oned hurting animals woul. Hurt anyone.there is much love and momey and. The pumishment must be much stronger,they cant keep getting away with this.
I hope the pup can recover. Get the POS who did this & throw them into a snake pit. Let them feel the pain of being trapped & helpless.
People, in general, just really suck !!! Thank goodness not all of them do.
I will bet these were blacks /thug wannabes fighting these dogs. I have seen the type before…they think they are tough guys but just losers who are broke and try to imitate what they see on TV.
BASTARDS,PRISON FOR THAT M.F.
My daughter rescued a bait dog……doing great now!
People that dog fight needs to be tied up and thrown to a few dogs and see how it feel being helpless and fighting to survive!
F**kin ppl
People suck
People that do that to anamals need to be put in jail for what they do to there dog that they do like they do they have Dog pounds that will take them and other dog pounds that will take them in stead of dropping them out on the side of the road
What is so sad…. On so many levels is these people walk among us and you never know the evil they commit against such animals. Breaks my heart.
I hate people! ??
Someone needs to find these bastards before the police do. Time to save some taxpayer dollars.
I hate these kind of people, put them in a ring
Poor baby, here’s hoping he’ll find someone WORTHY of the love and trust they give so freely.
someone should kill these bastards
Until States change or enforce animal abuse laws nothing will change to stop animal abuse.
I hate people!!
U kahra
I HATE animal abusers!
???????
I pray that whoever did this gets the privilege of knowing how it feels
I just can’t read these stories anymore, they break my heart. Humans are the monsters in the closet, under the bed and everywhere else.
My heart cries..
You know I’m not a religious person but I pray n I mean pray that the cruelty would stop
May all involved in dog fighting, become the “bait dog” in life. To have no empathy for an innocent animal, is barbaric, may you reap what you have sown!!
Evil b……ds. catch them then hang them
