Well, There I am in my car going to work (running late of course),..
this dog walks by my car at the stop sign and across the main Hwy.

He was> limping on a back leg that has a large gash in it.
He has sores on his pads from walking;
barbwire cuts on his body, hair loss,
flea infestation, and sunburn,
and is mal-nourished.
He ran through huge thistles before I finally got him to come to me.
I guess he had been run off by everyone else
and didn't have me figured out yet.

I put a blanket around this stinky flea infested doll
and he put his head on my shoulder and whimpered.

I was thinking, damn. I can't afford this but what can you do?,
when they look at you with those big brown eyes?
He is still not out of the woods, but at least he is off the streets.
The vet said he is around 5 yrs old, and very anemic among other problems.

He looks so much better in the pics than in real life.
If the poor thing stood up you would see how skinny he really is with no hair at all, on the rest of him.
