Ceasar is recovering


Two College Station, Texas room mates who are already 'pros' at rescuing animals found an injured dog left by the side of a road. Since the dog is a pit bull the duo knew he would be euthanized if they brought him to a shelter so they decided to rescue him by first bringing him to a veterinarian for the necessary care of his injuries. His left front leg and part of his tail required amputation. They named him Ceasar.

What is really interesting is the ingenuity Jamie Whitt and her roommate Connie Donnellan used in posting Ceasar's plight on their Twitter accounts. Hoping to get maybe a quarter of the money needed for Ceasar's vet bill, they received $485 in four days! This covered the vet bill of $400 and the rest will be used for his food during his rehabilitation and foster until he finds a forever home.

Isn't technology grand? Kudos Jamie and Connie…
