Poor doggy but thanks for the rescue both the bystander and the shelter. Hope the dog finds a good loving home. The abuser must be jailed and pay a heavy fine for animal cruelty for attempted murder of a living being!
Thank you for taking care of the dog. You did this perfectly. I also salute your compassion.
Thank you for your kindness!
