I am up to my old tricks again. For some reason, when I walk in this world, my eyes and soul find the hurt creatures. I am looking for them, even when I am not looking for them.
Today, this guy was about 300 yards away from a patient's home in a field in a bad neighborhood. I thought I saw some ribs showing in the sunlight, and I got some food out of my car to take to him.
Ribs was an understatement. He is the most neglected dog I have ever found. I brought him some food and watched him eat. I had no way of getting him to my car, as he was too scared to be near me. I can't imagine he has had someone love him in a long time.
I feel so lucky that with a few emails, I have had several responses from rescuers to help me get this guy to safety. (This is not always the case, as Memphis has so many abused and neglected animals, the rescues just can't help everyone. Our local shelter euthanizes over 1,000 animals a month.) A neighbor told me he has been living in an abandoned house, and I just hope he is there tomorrow and pray that we can find him and help him.
So, wish me luck and prayers that I can get this guy to safety tomorrow.
