She's a 3 month old child of strays. One was a Golden Retriever and the other is unknown. She belonged to my friends (parents of my Godson), but with all of their medical problems and with the baby, the puppy got neglected.
She has a wet doggy cage on the front porch of a dirt front yard. Her water was gross and her food rarely got changed. She would tangle her chain a lot around the porch, get stuck, and have no access to food or shelter. She was also attacked by a stray Boxer a week ago. He wrapped his jaw around her midsection and shook her, hitting her head on the porch several times. She was unconcious for a few hours, but woke up feeling okay. They didn't take her to the vet because they thought she would have to be put down.
Well, my friends went out of town and I offered to babysit the pup. We have a huge backyard and a covered porch for her. She has fresh food and water, a long chain, and plenty of space to be a happy pup. I talked to my friend and told her how much better off she is here and how much her attitude had changed since her arrival here and they said that I might be able to keep her until their child is older and until they have a better home!
Awesome! I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow for a full check up and shots. Poor thing.
Meatball is the sweetest, coolest dog I've known.
