The Society for the Protection of Animals in Granby, Que., wants to find out who abused a family of dogs, leaving them to die in a ditch on a country road over the holidays.

A black Labrador retriever and eight of her puppies were found freezing and malnourished on Chemin Stagecoach west of Brome, in Quebec's Eastern Townships, on Dec. 22.

Three of the animals, including the mother, had been shot in the head with a nail gun.

Geneviève Sabourin and her husband, Ken France, rescued the animals after a friend called them at home in neighbouring Knowlton to tell them about the dogs.

"She knows that Ken and I love animals," said Sabourin. Geneviève Sabourin walks the mother of the Labrador puppies she and her husband rescued after someone had punctured the animal's skull with a nail gun.

The couple called the local SPA in Granby, but since it was late and it would take time for them to get to the dogs, Sabourin said she and her husband decided to go see them along the country road

When they arrived, Sabourin said the mother Lab was on the side of the road guarding her puppies who were huddled in a snow-covered ditch behind her.

"As I was petting the top of her head, I was feeling something hard," said Sabourin. "Then slowly the ice melted and I realized it was metal — metal in the head of that little puppy."

SPA staff arrived on the scene, at the intersection of Chemin Stagecoach and Chemin Johnston, to look after the dogs. Sabourin said they told her the puppy ended up dying on the way to the veterinarian and they had found another puppy dead in the ditch, with a nail in its head.

How hard would it have been to take them to the fucking pound if you couldn't care for them? God. My heart goes out to the couple that rescued Mom and the surviving babies. Hope they all get loving new families.

Reading these stories about dogs makes me cry, dogs trust us, they look up to us, for someone to do this, they have to be an evil motherfucker who deserves a nail in the head, I will be the one to put it there too... Thank you Mrs. Sabourin, thank you for rescuing them and taking them home and making them warm, a mother with newborns no matter what species is the one thing in the universe that should be sacred...

People are cruel. A lot of them would do this to their own, let alone dogs. Hope all goes well for these pups & their mum and whoever did it gets run over and left lying along the road.

Of all the animals who call planet Earth home, the human is the most depraved, the most callous, the most cruel. We torture and kill for kicks.

Dogs want NOTHING but to please us, to be near us, and to make us happy. I have far more empathy for these beautiful, innocent creatures than I do for most people. They are truly GOOD.

I have to believe there is a special level of hell reserved for the depraved individuals who mistreat the sweet, trusting, and helpless... No matter the species.
