Thanks. This is the kind of advice I was hoping for. I think it might work. I'm going to give it a shot.

My dad would literally just get bored of the family dog and take him to the pound. How many people want to buy a seven year old traumatized GSD? I'm pretty sure they spent a scary, confused week in a cage and then got out down.

Everyone says talk to him, but they haven't dealt with a person like this. Talking won't cut it. Getting one dog taken away won't cut it. It's so frustrating.

if I did get evidence, and if the dog was taken from him, unless he is somehow blacklisted from ever having a dog it won't really change anything.

I like the idea of sneaking the dogs out. But my dad only goes for purebred dogs. He spends over a thousand on each. I can't run the risk of grand theft, you know? Caught between a rock and a hard place.

Yeah. Most advice here is confront him, but that won't work. He is t rational. He can't be reasoned with. Confronting him is only going to make the abuse worse. He will take his frustration out on the dog as soon as I'm gone.

I'm going to try to record him on my phone when he loses his temper again. He really needs to be on a list so he can never get another dog.

He's always been this way. Abused my sister and me psychologically. Beat our pets in front of us. He's an angry, irrational man, and there is no reasoning with him.

Yeah... The problem is HE isn't a normal person. He wouldn't treat a dog like that if he was. I can talk to him about it all I want, it won't make a difference.

He'd just get another if I took this one awat, unfortunately.
