HOW CAN A MAN BEAT A DOG LIKE THAT...I can't stop crying....GOD...

Dear GOD please help me to help that dog! Fri. was fairly average...did all my usual routine, and worked on taxes. Hottie got home about 1:30p.p.m., fixed him lunch and we visited about his meeting. I was looking out the living room window and notice 2 dogs in the back yard, Jim got up to look and noticed it had a tag on the collar. I went out the back porch, and the dog came to me and I noticed how his ribs showed, and got the # off his collar. Jim put on his coat, after I called the owners, and he was able to put one dog into the back of livestock trailer, we could not find the other dog. 15 minutes or so later the neighbor,Barb, whom I spoke to on the phone, pulled into the drive, and pulled over to the livestock trailer. I put on my coat and was taking the open can of dog food to give to her so she could give it to the dogs. Barb got out of the passenger side, and a young man, her son, Jarod exited the drivers side, I started to tell her i had not had a chance to feed the dog, when I noticed Jarod opening the back door to the trailer.......GOD PLEASE HELP ME TO ERASE THE PICTURE!!!! I saw Jarod, step into the trailer, and grab the dog by the collar, he pulled the dog to the door,holding it by the collar....what I saw next, will never go away from my mind, and my heart is so sad, I feel so helpless. He pulled the collar tightly while twisting it, raised the dog up and slammed it to the ground, I began screaming, and cussing as loud as I could, but it was as if he heard nothing....he started punching the dog with his fist , in its face and head, probably 6,7,-10 times, I was screaming, Barb was standing in front of me acting as if this was normal, I told her to get out of my face, and to stop that little bastard from beating the dog, she calmly asked me if I wanted the dog to run way again, I told her to shut the f**& up, and told her if her child ran away because it was hungry, would you beat the child for that, again told her to get the hell off my property, she kept telling me I was acting insane and hateful, all this time Jarod is fisting this dog, twisting it in the air to flip it over to the other side, and continued to punch it in the face, and in between the punches he started kicking it in the ribs, and stomach, I was screaming at him, looked for my cell phone to call the sheriff, it was not on me, I hollered for hottie, and he could not hear me screaming, by the time he heard me I was coming for the house to call the sheriff. When he threw the dog in the back of the truck, is when I noticed the other dog, in the back hunkered down. I immediately called the sheriff, could not reach a deputy, but a lady took my complaint, and said she would have someone call me back and she would locate the animal abuse hotline. I have not cried that much ,that hard, I could not breathe, my hottie tried everything to get me to calm down...I could not, I was shaking so badly, I felt like I was going to pass out, I could not get any air, nothing would stand still, I could do nothing...About 30 min. went by, then a deputy called,I could not speak to him, hottie relayed what happened , he just told me to come down next week and give a statement...I could not believe it, this is what they were going to settle with. THEY WEREN'T GOING TO COME CHECK ON THE DOG, ARREST JAROD, NOTHIN...NOTHING...! They did not even leave a hotline #. I found one myself, and called, they told me to call the sheriff back and tell them to go take photos and check the dog, to see what condition he was in. They said they would try to get ahold of an emergency handler in our area to go see about the dog, if the sheriff thought it needed to be removed, if not it would be Monday before they went to see the dog. The humane society abuse unit is in St.Louis, 3 1/2 hours away! I have not slept, I cannot stop seeing him hitting the dog, kicking the dog, hitting, kicking, over and over, it will not leave my mind! I keep thinking these dogs may not make it til Monday, i keep thinking I need to sneak over there and take the dogs...even though I know this is illegal...what am I supposed to do...The movie keeps playing over and over, it won't stop....GOD PLEASE HELP ME TO DO THE RIGHT THING...PLEASE KEEP THOSE DOGS SAFE...THE BEATEN DOG, GIVE HIM RELIEF FROM THE PAIN....GOD give me the courage to do what I should do...please GOD make this insanity stop, please take the movie from my head, I no longer want to see it..it is haunting me..I can't do anything,.........
