    I don't normally share web articles - but this one really made me think of the worst and the best in people.

    You wouldn't believe that was the same dog.
    to be honest, that first picture of him he looked like he had been dead for weeks.
    Be prepared to cry over this one guys.

    OMG how can anyone be so cruel?
    I just don't understand why the owners don't just take him to a dog shelter if they can no longer or don't want to care for him anymore. It makes my blood boil! :mad:

    And this dog has forgiven and is still prepared to love and trust members of the human race after what its lowest examples did to him. What a saint.

    OMG how can anyone do this to an animal, it really upsets me. I used to work at the vet and we had a dog nearly as bad as that brought in, sadly the dog died and it haunts me to this day. Thank heaven it was different for Patrick.

    I just don't understand why anyone, ever, could do this. Amazing he survived.

    I've read this story before.

    Sadly I've seen dogs in almost this state in real life before. It's so rewarding bringing them back to full health though and you can literally see them improving day after day.
