To the people who say, “My dog has never been hurt on this, and it’s the only way he can learn self-control,” answer this question: would you use a prong collar on your children to teach them self-control?
"It definitely it's a miracle the way it went, he survived so that he could tell his story, so that people would know that it's not OK to do this to a dog."
A Michigan firefighter discovered a stray dog in his yard with its front paws bound with zip ties. The firefighter called Animal Control and had the abused pet rescued immediately.

"At one point my dog was coming down one of those large rubble piles and she put her front paw into a large glass window. The glass shattered, and her foot went through," said Armstrong.
