"Dog survives near drowning, gets loving home Posted: Today at 5:38 p.m. Updated: Today at 7:14 p.m. Cary, N.C. — A dog who was rescued from a Cary lake after her owner allegedly tried to drown her has found a new home. Jahmal Clark, of 1108 Alston Village Lane, duct-taped the 4-month-old Shepherd mix puppy's muzzle and paws, and threw her in the lake Thursday at his apartment complex in an attempt to drown her, police said. Passersby saw Clark toss the dog into the water and rescued her. They took the dog to an animal hospital, and police were alerted of the crime. “It's unbelievable, almost, and I certainly never thought in my wildest dreams I could be blessed by a dog that had gone through that,” her new owner said. The woman asked that WRAL News only use her first name, Stacy, because she is worried someone might try again to hurt the dog. When Stacy and her husband, Daniel, heard about the puppy's experience, they contacted the New Beginnings Rescue at 333 James Jackson Ave. in Cary to adopt him. “When you're dog lover like I am, it's not hard to know what the right thing to do is,” Stacy said. Officers had been calling the dog "Miracle," and Stacy thought the name fit and kept it. “When we heard her story and knew where she had been, we decided. We didn't have the heart to change it. She's a miracle, and she deserves to be called that,” Stacy said. Stacy said she hopes Miracle's story will send a message. “Maybe if nothing else, the story will get out there and let them know there are right avenues, SPCA's and animal shelters. There are other places to go, rescue groups,” Stacy said. The puppy is healing well and has quickly adapted to her new home. Stacy and her husband have rescued five other dogs. They are currently caring for three dogs at their Wake County home. Clark, 18, was charged with felony cruelty to animals and placed in the Wake County Jail. He was released on bond Saturday. His next court appearance was scheduled for August 6. Clark told police he brought the dog to the vet to be put down, but didn't have $100 to pay for the procedure. He thought about bringing the dog to the SPCA but didn't have gas to get there, he told police. Clark has been banned from the apartment complex where the dog was dumped, and is embarrassed by what he has done, his friends told WRAL News Monday."

Absolutely disgusting, that dog is adorable

7/20/2009 8:30:02 PM

^^uh... my post sounds kind of similar to the post you like...

7/20/2009 8:30:36 PM

must suck when your dog is more attractive than you

7/20/2009 8:30:59 PM

no, i agree with duct taping him and tossing him in a river. let him taste death, look death square in the face - then let some white people drive by and rescue him, then toss his ass in jail to get ass raped by Bubba the Love Man.

7/20/2009 8:31:34 PM

welp, you just made this a race thread

7/20/2009 8:32:07 PM

nah, I'd prefer to leave his ass

7/20/2009 8:32:10 PM

Why didnt he just let the dog go?

7/20/2009 8:32:16 PM

What vets charge $100 for euthanasia?

7/20/2009 8:32:46 PM

the dog would probably hang around the apartment

7/20/2009 8:33:01 PM

It costs to put an animal down.

7/20/2009 8:33:25 PM

i think supplanter works at a vet office

7/20/2009 8:34:24 PM

That is a cute puppy.

7/20/2009 8:34:53 PM

hell i'd take that pup and I don't even want a pet right now.

7/20/2009 8:37:44 PM

That guy is an absolute piece of shit.

But it also kind of annoys me how people always name animals who survive horrible crap like this something fruity.

7/20/2009 8:37:47 PM

yeah, that's a horrible name for a dog

name it lucky if you have to name it something related to the incident

7/20/2009 8:39:03 PM

she looks like a Ginger to me

7/20/2009 8:39:24 PM

yeah fuck that guy

7/20/2009 9:20:05 PM

What was the guy smoking? I mean seriously, why not put the dog out a few miles from your home instead of trying to kill it? What kind of chemical induced thinking was this?

7/20/2009 10:14:24 PM

i wish i wouldn't have read this last week =/ but i was upset when i did.

7/20/2009 10:26:36 PM

I love how up in arms some people get over animal abuse, yet a large percentage of these angry people support shit like abortion, partial birth abortion, late term abortion, Dr. Tiller, etc.

7/20/2009 10:40:45 PM

^are you suggesting people support dog killers too?

[Edited on July 20, 2009 at 10:42 PM. Reason : of course you're not. i'm just joshing you.]

7/20/2009 10:42:02 PM

What a fucking lame ass excuse.... The animal shelter will do it for free and all he would have to do to begin with is just call fucking animal control and say it wasn't his, then it would have been taken to the shelter.

you are a contradiction then, congrats

7/20/2009 10:48:53 PM

news flash

when all is said and done, it's just a fucking dog

michael vick didn't kill nobody neither

7/20/2009 10:49:30 PM

I don't see this as animal cruelty.

Did y'all read the article? The dog's owner sounds dumb and broke, not cruel.

He was trying to put the dog down, folks, not torture it.

7/20/2009 10:49:46 PM

Republican18 I am against the method of abortion where they carry the baby to term then duct-tape its mouth shut and throw it in a lake. Does that count?

7/20/2009 10:50:45 PM

i wonder about people like this.

i mean really....drowning?
seriously? that's what he came up with?

how about shooting it?
much less painful....and everyone knows someone with a gun.
hell, my dad and i had to go shoot a puppy i found in the woods because he had parvo.

and it also makes me wonder what kind of guy he is.
does he have kids?
what if he doesnt want them?
what kind of punishment does he use?

there were sooooooo many different options and he blatantly chose not to do so.

7/20/2009 10:54:06 PM

huge contradition perhaps but i think unwanted children are potential much more dangerous and costly and to society because they are more likey to have fucked up home situations and end up like this tool. Also i have more regard for a life outside the womb, animal or child, the i do of that the unborn. People shouldn't tortue animals, abortion is a seperate and unrelated issue

7/20/2009 10:55:09 PM

After all that dog has been through now you want them to cut his balls off too? Wtf is wrong with you?

7/20/2009 10:56:34 PM

And unfortunately, I predict some fines and a 1 yr jail sentence only, for an animal.....

7/20/2009 10:57:55 PM

One of my friends found a pit bull chained to some cinder brick blocks in the lake.

7/20/2009 10:58:52 PM

hey

i like dogs

but there isn't a dog on this earth that's worth a year of my fucking life

Inmate 1-> So..uh, what are you in here for?

This guy -> I tried to drown a dog in a lake

Inmate 1 -> .... get my shank

7/20/2009 11:01:12 PM

This kid's big mistake was not drowning the dog in a barrel. Like I said...he's dumb, not cruel.

I'm mostly joking about the barrel, but it would be easier to stomach cause it's quicker and more controlled than this retarded lake route. A barrel's just a bit closer to that most merciful needle the vet doles out.

"Jen: huge contradition perhaps but i think unwanted children are potential much more dangerous and costly and to society"

If morality is all about potential danger and cost to society, then what's so bad about drowning a dog? That seems to be a danger-free, cost-free action.

I doubt it would take only seconds for the barrel to kill the dog. Have you ever performed euthanasia on a dog?? Well, I have, and when you do it properly, it takes very little time and they go peacefully.

gtfo with that shit.

Really I think reproductive organ confiscation is an underused punishment. Having balls is somewhere between a right and a privilege. It should at the least be a possible punishment for:Rape,Torture,Murder,Cruelty,Defrauding Welfare,Molestation,Neglect and scamming people online or in person. Plus its cheap and it would save money in the long run, and it leaves them able to work. I'm about 50% serious.
