Thanks to you! I've become a great investigator. Pretty solid, honest and straightforward. But before I was around, Leo suffered daily from neglect and abuse. Leo's abuse never crossed my mind until now! And here's why:
Leo had three surgeries on his leg that I know of! Maybe more? Tell me? Is that a red flag?
That's a lot for a golden retriever puppy. The amount of times he was coned for the neglect from the very beginning of his life! Years before Joshua too!
And for no reason! Lazy, forgetful but not ignorant! Very intelligent, legal mind! This story of a dog and a boy is not about me.
Plenty of people have pets!
Lots of people get the opportunity to raise a puppy after the 8 weeks waiting period. Separating the birth mother and siblings and then set on to a new life! This Leo had a new lease on life!
Whether it be a private adoption or bill of sale from a PetSmart. It's assumed that the animal that's being acquired would be given to somebody with their best interests in mind.
Most reasonable people don't have to think like this, but this dog owner is special! Unique! Careless and irresponsible!
There are plenty of people that do it very successfully without one injury every single day!
I never put two and two together in the beginning, because I was not looking for the information!
I've been forced to talk about this!
Leo had three or more surgery's!
Leo had two when I met him! Two surgeries for young puppy.
This all has been recently brought to my attention.
For every surgery, there is an appointment before, during, and after.
Everyone knows that the after care and after a surgery, there's going to be follow-up doctor's visits. There's going to be instructions on how to care for their dog. Often a printed instruction sheet follows with the dog after surgery.
There is plenty of communication between the hospital and the owner.
Medication is usually involved to keep the dog comfortable .Dog Therapy, which actually means owner therapy! but then learning from your mistakes, most people understand that before acquiring a human or a canine or feline!
Leo wasn't able to speak our language! He wasn't able to tell the vet in his own words what happened in his house that resulted in multiple surgeries over the years!
Leo was a loving dog and love being around people! Wherever I was in the house, Leo would be there. Whenever I went outside to smoke or work around the house, Leo was with me. He took a liking to me when the responsibility was put upon me by the dog owner to have more and more daily responsibility for this dog. Putting the responsibility on me from jump, I felt was kind of her responsibility to do!
I became more of a caregiver for Leo So the dog owner could focus on what was important to her. Unfocused, traveling between three states a day, up and down elevators, court proceedings, lawyers, judges, depositions and summaries. Law, was the dog owner's focus while I was put into a position of being the primary caregiver by the dog owner without my consent. Before me was Peter Korda, and after me was Lester Hobbs and then Gary taking care of the necessities of the canine and then Joshua in this dog owners home! Happily, these other men she found suitable to let into her home, They take care of her day today while she focuses on some other bigger picture! Some way to become distracted and not focus on the child or dog, but focus on a bigger picture now coming into focus!
To my knowledge, there is not a hotline for animal abuse and I don't believe at the time veterinary we're not obligated to report such suspicious activity. Sometimes I wonder if Dr Klein from Southampton pediatrics ever knew the history of this dog prior to my son ever being seen by that office! Oh hell! I wasn't looking for any of this when I met this dog owner.
Leo was a good dog that wasn't trained by his owner. A dog owner who had no time to spend with the young pup while they commute back and forth to New York for hearing high profile Court cases.
Often the young pup was transported from their home to a weekend puppy resort centers so that the owner can get away. The demand of the dogs needs were less important than the owner needs. Leo had the appearance of being a showpiece to this owner. An inanimate object that needed some attention, I might say I've personally witnessed. Barking out orders to everybody else, to walk Leo, or to feed Leo.
At the time, I felt like I was taking orders. I felt like she was placing the demands upon me As if to say, You're in my world now! Do as I say!
This was just another thankless job that I was forced into because she was too busy somewhere else! She felt good to be able to manage everything with me around because I take care of things! There's a whole list of what I did before and after living there. That to be honest, I'm not going to list them here because this is about Leo and not me, but the monetary value of what I brought to that home until the day I left was in the ballpark of $100,000. I left almost $100,000 on the table and walked out without even a thank you or reimbursing me Even though there was a previous verbal agreement, This dog owner broke that too! And I'm not talking about child support either, that separate!
Under her employ, when I met this dog owner had hired a dog walker named Diane who had three kids of her own? Teenagers on ADHD medicine! This dog owner referred to Diane as bipolar with emotional distress. This was an admission of this dog owner and not solicited. Now knowing this, Diane had access to lots of pharmaceutical drugs from multiple people in her family, was not a thought in my mind at that time! But it is now!
When I met Leo, this dog owner had just moved into a townhouse and had recently been divorced from Peter Korda. Peter Korda, And a high powered attorney in New York City, had, I believe, four kids of his own!? Any of these children on ADHD medicine or antipsychotics?
I believe this dog owner was previously in school for some sort of psychotherapy taking classes in New York at one point before we met. Later on she would be seeing a therapist. When we met I was taking classes for sign language and photography at the same time at Neshaminy high School for adult night classes. I took sign language because my family and the family at church. We were friends with deaf people and I wanted to learn how to communicate with them just like my family! This was important to me! I didn't learn Spanish or French, always learning on my own How to use American sign language to I will always be able to communicate with any deaf person that come across the rest of my life! Is that not a gift? The ability to speak to people Not suspecting me to come out and start to hand sign should they know they have a friend who will listen, and can listen!
This dog owner had two previous marriages and no kids. Leo was her first! First that I know of anyways!
I know people that treat their animals like humans! I know people that treat their animals way much better than strangers! I know people that treat animals like they were own children!
I've heard people refer to their animals as their very own children. I know that people treat their animals like a part of the family!
People celebrate their animals first everything!
And we all know that one annoying person that's got to make everything about their cat or their dog as we politely smile through until it's over!
Some families have a funeral for their dog, but I was not invited to Leo's even though I was a part of his life for some 2 years. I was never extended the courtesy to attend his funeral even though I was his caregiver of Leo for 2 years. He passed away and I never received an invitation for his funeral. To be there for my son, for Josh's dog too!
Years later, When the dog owner informed me that Leo was going to be passing soon, I politely responded with, Joshua is free to go be with Leo whenever you say! I added, I can drop Joshua off or you can pick him up! I'm here for Joshua and his first dog and I support the next step!
Now once this dog owner warned me that Leo was going to be passing, that was the last I heard about it! I was not even told the day he passed by the dog owner for my own knowledge on how to care for my son who just lost his dog! I wasn't told that a member of our family had passed away! This information was kept from me that I'm just realizing now as I write.
Everybody knows the most important part of surgery is the aftercare! Post surgery care is the most important part of the surgery itself!
It takes time to address the wounds, put ointment on, keep the area clean, but more importantly to make sure that the dog remains safe for himself so he doesn't incur another injury!
Having to recall this, was very difficult to write. Because the perception that I once first had is no more!
Leo, God rest his soul, had three surgeries, major to his future and his life to be independent.
Leo suffered three injuries to his leg, I'm not quite sure how many, cuz I wasn't there, How many hospitals did Leo go to for his surgeries?
I didn't realize this until now!
The dog owner was told not just once, but three times how to avoid injury like this!
How many times was Leo's needs ignored, but the surgeries were evident of the neglect!
How much sympathy does one really need?
What started out with a dog who she did not have time for, neglected that needs of the dog, The amount of instruction required of her not obeyed one time, but disrespected the dog three times in total! Before Joshua! And I didn't know!
Before Josh was even born, Leo, Her first born, was not safe in her care!
Most dog owners pride themselves on how well they take care of their newborn puppies and set them up for success for their future!
Some dog owners learn from the first mistake and never make the mistake again!
Some dog owners take the time to respect professional who are there to help them! If you're called to help animals, you love animals! Nobody needs to read about love when it comes naturally for us! Teach you how to care for them, that's what the veterinary hospital has people in there to rehabilitate the damage animal! Learning from the first surgery never happened, learning from the second surgery, never happened.
Now let's quickly add a child to this entire scenario! Was the child safe? No! Never! Because the paper trail doesn't lie! From veterinary medical records to court records, pediatricians, police, and psychiatrists, all notated the most ridiculous crime to this boy, all under their nose! All reported! All documented!
For Leo, These people in their field know how to take care of animals because they spend their days correcting what went wrong! These people don't need to take another test on how to care for animals, they're here for the common man.
The very first surgery Leo went through before I ever met this dog owner was explain to their face and in great detail, I am to assume, that the small puppy dog cannot be up on a bed so high! Especially a tall sleigh bed which was after the second surgery she confessed to me about what the vet said not to do!
The vet and or vet techs spoke at great lengths the very first time. Provided her paperwork on care before and after the very first surgery! Here you have both verbal and written instructions and this dog owner chooses not to follow anything! This dog owner knows better than the surgeons! This dog owner knows better than the dog walker. Leg and knee surgery for a brand new puppy, not once but three times! Staples, and stitches! Multiple scarring over the injured area throughout the years. The pain Leo must have felt after every injury that never quite healed. I'm going to take a guess that he suffered from arthritis severely because of the lack of care that was happened to him in the beginning of his life!
This owner was provided the same information three times and the dog still suffered! Still taking medication she was in charge of. The medication that kept flowing with every surgery and in every injury! Leo was there for the examination, but couldn't speak! Leo wasn't able to collaborate their story! Leo had no voice other than the evidence of the neglect!
The trips to the pharmacy did not deter this dog owner. The dog wearing a cone on his head for 18 months total or more for his total life Did not deter her? Just a thought of me picking up a prescription really annoys me, but this is where she began getting her fix. Sympathy from the doctors. The reward of drugs!
It's quite easy! Damage the dog get some drugs! Damage the dog and get some drugs! Damage the dog and get some drugs!
Fast forward 2 years? Damage the boy and get some drugs! Damage the boy and get some drugs! Damage the boy and get some drugs!
Again, I'm just realizing this!
FDIA or munchen syndrome by proxy is the most lethal, the most dangerous of emotional abuse known to man. The most deadliest form because most don't get out alive, just ask Dee Dee Blanchard. Imposing a fictitious disease from a mentally disturbed woman onto a child or a dog, is mental illness I've called the attention of Bucks County children and youth for protection over my son over 15 years ago and I stated FDIA in my first phone call to report officially this child abuse that I've been made known of from this woman and dog owner!
This vindicates me for the last 15-20 years. Josh's medical records and Leo's combined. Leo pre-dates me my relationship to this proud dog owner! Leo was sustaining injuries before I was ever in the picture! My name is not on any of Joshua's medical records and they're not on any of Leo's either!
One woman, Shields herself with the use of taxpayers money, Her employer, Bucks County judicial system, to have not just one official report of the child abuse I've reported consistently, but now stands five in all over the last 15 years!
If there was only some way of sharing this information with the county, we wouldn't have to waste taxpayers money. Sparing me from frivolous court appearances that don't make sense? Both Dr. Klein, Southampton pediatrics and Dr. Weinberg, Lower Bucks pediatrics, should have been made aware of the canines medical history would probably have ended in a different result every time Joshua was sitting in front of them, because he didn't have to and I know this!
Knowing the law and then using it against me to cover up a crime in this country, is the crime! This woman who was seasoned in all legal proceedings, knew what to do because she was trained, but choosing not to make the most critical phone call to a child's life is totally 100% unacceptable in any day and any time and any age! Ignorance is no excuse for the law! And mark my words, nobody in this country is above the law! As a good Christian man, as a man who believes in his faith, Who knows the Constitution and how this country was formed and grew, A Patriot through and through. I believe it's not my will to be done, but my father's witch is in heaven!
Pray for Joshua! Pray for Tess Sola! Pray for me! But more importantly, pray for those who have a voice and can't use it Or maybe those were too afraid to come forward when they know better. Pray for our judges and our politicians and our leaders to do what's best for this country! That we can learn and grow from this and that we can move forward in such a way that brings glory to the next generation while providing a safer home for the next generation!
I pray for my friends and family who have struggled to understand the story that I'm still not quite understanding the entirety to this day!
So much of this has been confusing to me and still is!
I pray for my friends who I've lost touch with through this, That's somehow someway this world becomes a little bit better for everybody! But it starts with me first! I've got to be a good Christian example to others! Forgiving those who trespass against us, turning the other cheek, with the gift of understanding and kindness is the best to move forward! Michael Jackson said it best, I'm starting with the man in the mirror!
I did not create this freaking mess! This was here all before I entered the relationship and I will be damned If I will ever spend a day in jail for what this woman done to her dog first and then our son!
I'm just a father with a flashlight!
I'm doing what is necessary to protect my son in the middle of a very convoluted and contentious situation that was brought to me by her mental illness. If she ends up finding the help she needs someday, Joshua and I will be here for her every step of the way like we both have been from jump! We both will support her 100% because that's what family does! We support each other and love each other through it! Love is the best medicine of all.
Maybe somebody should do their research and their due diligence like I have. Genesis, everything starts from somewhere, but have compassion on those who are not understanding what they are going through! When people like me try to explain the situation that I've been put into, I am no authority! I'm just some dumb schmuck within high school education, barely, who was conned by a very convincing and devious official Court reporter to The Honorable Judge Alan Rubinstein, Bucks County Court for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Although I would say, I'm not a professional by any means, but I've learned how to investigate the nature of the crimes that affect my son because he is the most important thing in my life! The facts speaks for themselves, there is a cereal abuser that got to my son! And she ain't done yet until She gets help!
This entire exercise has taught me to know my history. To be more confident and assertive even when the pieces of the puzzle just don't make sense! To be absolutely 100% positive before ever writing one word! My son Joshua Is my hero because he's giving me the courage to stand up against injustice when I see it first hand and the responsibly report it as required as a citizen of these here United States of America! But more importantly, he's my hero because he's the one that went through all of this! I've been just sitting here trying to hold his hand through it! Joshua is a warrior and a fighter! He's been training his whole life to get out of this situation that he will in fact be delivered from, someday! How do I know? Where do you think his training for success began?
As a animal lover, myself, My Labrador retriever was my first little buddy and I love him dear! Cats, dogs, horses, All God's creatures I love. Above ground and under the sea, it all works for the greater good of this world! Right?
Leo has the most important story of all!
Leo is the story! Leo has a history! I was there! I know now how to put a cone on a dog. That was the first and last experience I'd ever had in my life putting a come on a dog, And now I know why!
For Joshua, Did all the doctors, pediatricians, psychiatrist , including lawyers, court clerk's, and all the judges, All the people she works with at the courthouse to this day do not know about Leo and his history. If they were all informed of the gross negligence prior to the birth of one Joshua Vincent Edel, would I even be having this conversation? Nope!
This dog has a voice! Do you hear me now?
If there was some way somehow I could pull all of medical forms for Leo's life, I damn well would do that for him! He deserves that win! If somehow I was able to subpoena all of his records like I did for Joshua, I would do it in a heartbeat without hesitation and for the good tire story and where it all began.
I hope that Leo finds his peace in heaven and that he knows who was there for him. That this man went to Great lengths to recall situations that are very important and critical to the future and life of my son! Thanks to Leo!
Thank you Leo! I learned a lot from you good ol'boy! Leo, Go play with your ball till I can throw it to you again boy!
