what a wonderful rescue. i long to be able to take in pigs and farm animals also. right now we are set up only for dogs and cats and have a house full of strays and unwanted little ones. it made me cry to read the story as i also see the emotions of animals and cannot understand how anyone could say an animal doesnt feel or should be used for food.

it is BARBARIC

The neighbor could hear the screams, but not the owner. How deaf can one be!

There are different types of hearing and feeling, screams of pain may not be heard.

What a joyful story and more evidence if we needed it of the intelligence and emotional values of animals. Scientists must be a miserable, loveless, sterile lot non of this simple pleasure of an animals friendship and love for them!

Thank goodness the neighbor heard the piercing screams. The owner meant well, but is neglectful, he should have known better.

Beautiful story :) Its great that Harley has a permanent safe home now. More proof that other animals have a sense of attachment to and concept of "home".
i think that it is only human arrogance , mostly compensatory ;) (some people desperately attempting to try and feel superior because they are so inferior), selective convenience (in order to make profits from animal exploitation) and a desperation to avoid facing guilt which causes the denial that all other animals have emotions and feelings. You'd think we would have evolved out of such childish behavior by now....

Cher ... a thousand thanks for this absolutely wonderful story! Every living creatures has feelings and it would take me forever to write about why I think so and the thousands of smallest animals that I have saved or helped, like saving a bee from drowning in the pool, nevber too lazy to pick up a centipede inside the house and returning it to a shady, moist spot in the garden, hiding the fact of a little mouse in the kitchen from my husband until I was able to lure it outside with a trail of tiny cheese bits which played out over the course of several nights and on and on it goes. My mother instilled this love of all creatures in me while I was stil a child and I consider myself so blessed to have such compassion. May Harley enjoy many long years of life and may God Bless the author for such an insightful and sensitive rendition.
