Dog Spent 12 Years Chained Up In The Dirt, Wondering When His Day Would Come

Paws 4 Hope received a call regarding a senior dog who was tied up without food or water. Four years prior, his owner died, which left him with an older adult who ended up neglecting him, writes ilovemydogsomuchThe 12-year-old dog was suffering from severe skin issues, had no teeth, and was extremely filthy and hadn’t received a bath in who knows how long.

They decided to name this sweet dog “Roger,” and rushed him to the nearest vet for proper medical care.

Roger was treated for his ailments and given a much-needed bath before going to live with a loving foster. He is currently receiving treatment for anemia, intestinal parasites, as well as skin and ear issues.

With the love and support from his rescuers, vet staff and foster mom, Roger was transformed not just on the outside, but on the inside as well.

An “unusual” dog called Pig that has no neck and a body that appears to have been chopped in half has become an internet sensation.

More than 27,000 people have joined a fans’ group in honour of the strange-looking animal, who is quickly becoming one of Alabama’s biggest stars.

Pig, who bears little resemblance to the curly-tailed farmyard animal, suffers from short spine syndrome and has bones that are fused together.

Her condition causes her to walk like a gorilla and she often loses her balance, toppling over like a toddler.

But she is not letting her disability get her down and her adventures are chronicled on a Facebook page called Pig the Unusual Dog.

Kim Dillenbeck, who adopted Pig after finding her in a forest, said her pet is “living life to the fullest”.

“She’s missing several inches of her spine (and) her joints, her hips … none of them are in the right position,” she added.

Dr Rachael Hudson-Breland, the vet who treats Pig, said the eight-month-old mutt is given “rock star” treatment at her clinic.

“I don’t think Pig really knows she looks different,” she said.

“She runs around, she plays. The only thing with Pig is … she has respiratory issues, so when she’s running around she gets a little more tired than most dogs.”
