Maryville, TN - Bruno was rescued from certain death yesterday. When rescuers first arrived to his home, he appeared to have already died.
His cold body was lying inside of his makeshift dog-house...his eyes were open, but he was not moving.
Somehow his emaciated body had held on - despite the torturous neglect he had endured.
Bruno's owners forced him to live on the end of a chain, surrounded by mud.
Bruno was not living - he was breathing (barely) but he was not living.
He was existing.
He was suffering.
He was barely holding on.
The Blount County SPCA was alerted to this horrific situation by a neighbor - another day and Bruno would be dead...for that matter, perhaps just another hour.
Rescuers were fearful that Bruno would not survive the night, but he did.
Inside of this broken body is a will to survive. Inside of this frail frame is the spirit of a dog who wants to know kindness - who longs to feel something other than pain.
Bruno is fighting for his life at Village Vet in Maryville.
Donations can be made at this Chip-In link or directly to the veterinary clinic.
Please stop by the Blount County SPCA to tell them thank you for rescuing Bruno from his hellish existence.
Be well Bruno - fight to survive - you deserve to know what kindness is.
