Someone beat my dog yesterday

So I come home from work last night and I cant find my dog. It had slipped my mind before I left that morning that I should tie him up because my wife is out of town and wouldn't be there to watch him. So I think "well he must be running with my brother's dog." We live in the woods with very few neighbors and my brother lives next door so I figure no big deal.
Later on he shows back up and I go to pet him and find the top of his head covered in half inch lumps, some of them bleeding. It was like someone had taken a ball peen hammer to his head.:mad::mad::mad:
Well he seemed alright so I gave him some food (which he wouldn't eat) and went to bed. A little later he was whining at the door so I let him out to "go."
He hasn't come back since and his food is still in the bowl.
THis sucks

With head injures like that, you should have taken him to a vet right away.Political Correctness'.........defined

I know that now
He just seemed so normal and chipper (aside from not wanting to eat) and it was almost 11:00. I didn't think there was anything I could do then.
I feel terrible.Sounds good to me... -
Ok, moving on from that. I'd suggest you go out to look for him, still plenty of daylight.Political Correctness'.........defined

Is it possible someTHING attacked your dog instead of someone? Maybe another dog or a wild animal?
I hope he turns up OK Rev.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
Yeah Bob, judging from the wound description, I'd say that is probably the case.Political Correctness'.........defined

Anything's possible but he didn't have a single injury anywhere but on the very top of his head. I don't know how else to take that.
Hey F1,
What the $#@&% do think I've been doing all afternoon. I appreciate your taking an interest in my problem but if you're just gonna sit there and tell me what I'm doing wrong then don't. I happen to posses a conscience and it's eating me up enough right now.Sounds good to me... -
The local animal shelter has been notified to call me if he shows and every neighbor for a mile radius says they haven't seen him. Walking around and screaming in the woods has produced no results. Sorry if I'm a tad huffy.. .....
ahhh...
I suppose you're all correct.
I'll go out again.Sounds good to me... -
Good luck. Sorry to hear this...
Anyone who would abuse an animal, child or other weak/defenseless individual deserves a swift kick in the nads followed by a beat-down....
Reminds me of that video a few years ago where a 93-year-old man was trying to stop a guy from jacking his car and a bunch of people just stood & watched a thug beat him senseless. Multiple baseball bats were called for in that guy's punishment~ GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! :mad:TNRabbit

You have every right to be. I hope your search nets good results. Always sucks hearing about anyone's pets missing or in pain. -
Look around the property, if he's hurt he's not on the move. He's laying low somewhere. Hope he's okay.

Fantastic advice..........as they will stay close to home if hurt.... -
Hoping the little guy is OK. Maybe he went off to bite the heck out of the guy that laid the licks on him.

I'm definitely praying you find him, in the same condition as earlier (ie no worse), and that you can get him help soon from a vet. Hopefully everything will be fine in the end.
If it turns out some ONE did this to him, it'd take a lot of self-restraint to keep me from taking hammer to HIS head!

having a bunch of bumps on his head is not likely a person. they would have to restrain him to do that and if they are that wicked i doubt theyd let him go... sorry to be so blunt. the "look close" advise is real. does he like a special jerky or tuna fish you could set out to get his nose in order? also dont be afraid to trap him to get him to the vet.... very important he gets medical attention.

I had an Irish Setter when I was a boy that was poisoned by a neighbor when I was in boot camp. The poison destroyed his esophagus, stomach and a good portion of his digestive tract. So much damage was done that he could not even whimper to express his pain. He had to be put down... To this day I mourn for my regal red dog.
Sadly people are that evil to animals and if I was there Rev. I would be helping you look for the dog first. Then we would find those responsible and give them a few lumps on their head.The Gear...

He means well. All we see was you posting here about how you let him go...thats all we had to go on.
We're all animal lovers here and we all wish the best for your dog.
Best of luck.

This just awful! First off if I ever caught someone beating my Moose, there would be hell to pay.
Rev, I hope this turns out for the better, it really is disturbing and I can't imagine how you feel. -

Once again this SHOULD show you the danger in just opening up the door to let your animal roam about. If you are with them IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN!
I hope the dog is ok, but common sense would go a looooong way in this type of situation.
If you are too lazy to get up & walk your dog, or just let wander outside all day, you shouldn't have one!
These are NOT wild animals and they depend on US to know what is best for them, letting them run around in the woods where they can run into wild possibly rabid animals to be attacked is just wrong.Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2 -
Not everyone lives in a cramped city. Dogs being allowed the run of the property is far from uncommon and it isn't irresponsible.

Definitely agreed. It's the same mind-set of people who let their dogs run around on their farm.

If you live in the country there still is dangers. Isn't there a problem with pets coming into contact with wildlife? Could this dog have gotten into a fight with a deer with antlers? There is still other danger with pets getting into fights with neighbor's pets or running out in the road.
I almost hit a dog with my car while driving on a country road at 55 mph (speed limit). Stupid thing jump in front of me. Fortunately no one else was on the road and I could swerve safely and miss him. So dangers do exist in the country too. -

I didn't suggest there weren't, but I figured that went without saying.
I'm sure you understand the difference between raising a dog in a big city and raising one on a 30+ acre piece of property.
I doubt the dog you nearly hit was trained at all. Depending on the breed, dogs are generally easy to train and part of that training includes knowing their boundaries. I have never had a dog that would run into the street. I'm either lucky or my family did a good job training them. -

Could be the silliest thing you've ever said, Cathy, and that's saying a lot.
I would argue you should be more prohibited from owning a dog if you live in a city and CAN'T let it run free than if you don't and can.If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
