My husband is a doctor in the military, we are in a foreign country, yesterday my husband was walking out the door and the dog ran out and ran down the street a few times, and he was just playing. My husband brought the dog in and asked me to shut the mini-blinds. He started beating the dog with a belt and then the dog ran beside me trying to hide and I am so scared of my hubby that I didnt really protect the dog even though I held him close to me but the look in hubby eyes told me to let go; so I let go. The dog ran upstairs and hid beside the bed my hubby went and beat him some more for going upstairs since he is forbidden to go up there, then the dog ran in the kitchen and peed himself from being so scared and hubby ran in there and beat him some more. He always beats the poor dog, I feel so bad, i feel like I shoud step in and help but im terrified!!! in this country dogs arent important so theres no one to tell, what should I do with the dogs situation, poor dog:(

We are in Asia Pacific (i wont say which country) and we are from America. I treat the dog with love and care all day long and when hubby comes home I put the dog in the kennel or let him go in the back yard to get away and be free

You need to standup for your dog as you would if you two had a child together. That dog can not speak for it's self. You feel your pain for the dog because your as guilty as your husband even though you donot do it, you allow it. Stand up and say enough. If he were to hit you, he is jail bait!

It is just a matter of time before you will be his next target. I have seen it happen. Take your dog and your belongings and find a different home. A safe one. Talk with the Chaplin, he may be able to offer some help in your situation.
Now.....
What I don't understand is how your hubby can be a doctor in the military and not have a commanding officer. I have family in the military. Two are stationed in Iraq, and the other 3 are in the states. They ALL have commanding officers.

You say he's a Doctor in the Military then say he's not in the military. So is he a civilian attached to the Military or what? You should still get in touch with his superiours where he works, or even the station Commanding Officer.if the situation is as bad as you describe then HE NEEDS HELP!
Ever heard of the American Embassy? Every Country has one! Get in touch with them, tell them what is happening and that you are terrified for the dog and yourself, and want to return home! Surely you have American friends out there who you can talk to as well. Maybe they will know someone who will take the dog for you!
Whatever the situation you either stand up to him now or you will likely end up being his next target or you get out!

Place the dog IMMEDIATELY!!! Sorry to say, but your husband has an anger management problem, and you should be worried for yourself, as well.
Dogs are innocent, and the poor thing didn't even know what it was being beaten for. PLEASE, PLEASE find that dog another home. No dog deserves this, and expecially not being repeatedly chased down over time and being beaten repeatedly. I'm sure you DO know that that is criminal animal abuse, and he could go to jail. That's why he asked you to close the blinds. He obviously doesn't like that he can't control the dog, and the beatings are only going to get more severe and more frequent.
You sound like you have a conscience. Please find the dog another home. If it is his dog, and he forbids you to, take the dog somewhere, and say he got loose. Act like you are trying to look for the dog so you don't get in trouble. Do NOT have the dog pleaced nearby where he will see someone walking it. The dogs deserves to have a good life, and has not chosen this for itself. Please find it a home, or take it to a shelter, and explain the situation, so they don't release the dog back to your husband if he calls there in search of the dog. Please do the right thing..You can, and good luck.

Hi Beauty, This is the most horrible story i have ever heard. I know what i would do if my Husband abuse and animal like he is doing with this little guy. Your Husband need the S H I T Beat out of him!!! and give him a taste of what he is and has done to this little puppy. I would leave a terrible man like this. What's next you or a child when you have one. Think about this very hard. Your husband is a time bomb i do i had one just like your. Do a big favor for your little puppy,find someone who will Love him and take care of him like it should be. I have always Loved Dogs and this little guy deserves a better life.
A Friend,

God leave, I am a military wife so i know the military has resources for abuse. This is not only an issue of physical abuse to the dog but mental and potential physical abuse to you.
Go to the command, this type of behavior is not tolerated, and get out of there. If you have no resources for leaving tell the Commander she/he will help.
This person is not someone you want to be around or eventually have kids with. Just think if you have kids.
EDIT** Get out of that house, go somewhere else and even though he isn't military he still has a supervisor. No one wants you or the dog to be hurt. Letting the dog loose will just leave you for him to beat on.

I'd step in and tell him he's being stupid.Beating a dog is a senseless act and he's only doing it because he can and I hope it makes him feel like a big man cos he's lowering himself as one in my eyes.Beating that poor animal is doing nothing to make him understand what he did wrong it's only going to cause him to be afraid of your husband and run from him,pee on the floor whenever he sees him and he's going to clean it up or it'll sit there till he does.And when the dog bares his teeth,growls and bites him to protect itself you're going to do nothing to stop the dog from attacking him.Also I'd use every opportunity to tell hubbys friends what A BIG BAD MAN HE IS BEATING A DEFENSELESS DOG.
If he treats the dog like this how will he treat your kids?

That is sooooooooooooo sad. THE DOG IS NOT A CHILD!!! He should not beat the poor thing. Tell your husband that this is a problem and that he was just being a normal doggy and playing around! Leave him with the dog by your side or give it to someone that will love him. ITS OBVIOUS, LEAVE HIM OR THIS WILL GET WORSE!!! Hurry before animal cruelty happens again! i am a dog lover so please, either leave your husband or ship the poor dog to me!

you're suitable the canine is suffering. i'm a super canine lover I even have 4 yorkies. First get your hubby off his lazy butt and sparkling the patio and the puppy. You the two could take administration of this occasion. you will have some obstacles now, yet what's his excuse?????? the thank you to easily sit down and ***** is previous me. The canine is as helpless as that youngster you're worrying. Make him do something or locate the canine a house.
