| On August 13th 2006 a call came in from Connie of Pound Buddies Rescue telling me there was a puppy that needed me she then filled me in on all the awful details of a Sweet 4 month old Rottwhiler who was found tied up at the dog house in front of Animal Control .Pound Buddies Rescue (PBR ) had taken Ryan into see a area vet because Baby Ryan was nothing but skin and bones plus he was burned on his belly and penis it was learned that the burns were urine burns and were infected. The vet put him on antibiotics, |
| On August 14th. we picked up Baby Ryan. After seeing Ryan I called our vet on the way back to see if we could bring him right in to be looked at.Dr. L examined Ryan and just shook his head in disbelief he put Ryan on more meds and also cream for his belly and penis. Ryan was 4 months old and weighs 10.1 # Dr. Told me his burns came from laying in urine and filth. He had fly bites on his ears and also had an ear infection. But even with all he had been though Baby Ryan was so very sweet he never asked for anything and had tons of kisses for all of us. What kind of person would do this to a baby ? |

| Baby Ryan came to us 8-14-06 at 4 months old during his short life he had endured and suffered many things , being starved , living in filth laying in a crate soaked with urine to the point of it burning his belly and penis , Pneumonia , Pyoderma ( a skin infection) , and ear infections while in our care he seen a few different vets, he had many kinds of meds and also daily injections. Baby Ryan went up and down and we tried so hard to get him well and if love could make him well he would still be here with us. Baby Ryan's vet arranged for special testing to be done on him at MSU to see if they could find the source of infection and how to clear it up , so on Nov. 1st 2006 Mr. B and I drove him to MSU , it was a great day we stopped along the way and walked him we talked to him during our long ride once there we were in a room waiting for the vet to come, we played and loved and was so excited that maybe now we could at last get Baby Ryan well. After the vet examined Baby Ryan it was decided they would start testing. we were to come back at 5:00 p.m to pick Baby Ryan up. Baby Ryan, arrested at MSU shortly after they finished the tests on him. They did bring him back and worked on him for over an hour he would not breath on his own they put a chest tube in him and did many other things to try and save him the last thing was to put him on a ventilator Mr. B and I decided that we did not want him to go through any more and by his not trying to breath on his own we felt he was telling us enough is enough. We was with him and let him go peacefully. We brought him home with us and Baby Ryan has his final resting spot here. Baby Ryan met many caring people while he was with us and every one who met him fell in love with Baby Ryan, he just had that " something " very special about himself. Baby Ryan had many good days here with us and we had great fun with him on his good days. Baby Ryan stole our hearts and we loved him dearly. He was one of the nicest dogs that ever came to our rescue, and we will for ever miss him. Baby Ryan had many internet friends as well people who prayed for him daily and who loved him although they never met him. I decided to make this page for Baby Ryan for a couple reasons. One to show off some of his good day pictures and two to maybe educate folks about what can happen to animals when they are so abused as Baby Ryan was, now someone had to see this puppy in the condition before he was taken to Animal Control and chained up outside when they were closed, shame on you if you seen this sweet puppy and said nothing. If you do ever see any animal being abused , starved PLEASE , PlEASE report it.If you don't know who to call look on www.petfinder.com and find the nearest Rescue to you and call them they can help and direct you. |
| Baby Ryan's page is dedicated to my wonderful husband Mr. B. who spent countless hours walking, playing and loving Baby Ryan. And Mr. B . I knew Baby Ryan was never going anywhere had he survived, after over 2,000 rescues coming through here he is the only one who truly stole your heart. He loved you too. |

| We have received many nice emails after the passing of Baby Ryan, and would like to share part of one that really hit home. This one is from one of Baby Ryan's many internet friends God had a mission for Ryan and when He felt Ryan had done his job he took him home. This is such a crazy, stressful world and we forget how to be kind and loving. In less than 4 months a little, sickly dog made us all remember how to love unconditionally with our entire heart and soul. I will never forget Ryan and each time my heart starts to harden I will think of Ryan and remember what he has taught. Ryan not only did his job he worked a few miracles in his short time on this earth. |
