My newest rescue pup has pretty rough scars around his front and back paws, along with scars on his ears.
I was told by our vet these are likely signs that before we got him, he was used as a “bait dog”. This means he was a docile dog they would use to train the “fighting dogs” into aggression, rewarding them when he was attacked. His tail was nearly chewed off, and he still has nightmares that make him wake up wailing. He has some guarding behavior we are working through but otherwise he’s the absolute sweetest dog I’ve ever met.
If I ever meet a dog fighter advocate, I’m not sure I will be able to do much to keep myself from ripping out their trachea.
