Miracle Dog...

One of the quotes from Marley & Me that will always stick with me was that animals spend most of their lives waiting for you to come home.

We have so much more patience with them and forgive their mistakes faster because they provide such unconditional love.

It blows my mind that someone could be this cruel to an animal.

Early last year, a starving pit bull named Patrick who was rescued from an apartment Dumpster became a celebrity of sorts

Warning – the photos are very graphic – I am still in awe that this dog survived!

Almost a year later he is healthy and thriving….

It shows the resilience of animals – he had been treated so cruelly but he still is loving – he knows that those people are there to help him.

Poor guy is in the middle of a custody battle – the people who have cared for him vs. the Humane Society….each side is accusing each other of wanting the dog for profit…..
