Buck was about six weeks old, covered in fleas, with fireworks tied to him and he’d been given poison. He was on the road when found by a kindly worker.
The worker wrapped the puppy in a blanket and brought him home (he was going to look for someone to adopt him). A roommate took one look at him and wanted to keep him. The puppy was in really bad shape. He also had Parvo and the medical exam found that he’d been beaten.
Eight years later, Buck is reported to be the sweetest and most even tempered dog — ever known by his owners.
This is a story that plays over just about every day. Animals in need of rescue are plentiful.

Some one was training for a career in serial murder…glad the dog was saved.
I believe we should take care of all God’s creatures to the best of our ability. Buck was a lucky dog.
My son is behind on writing about his rescue dogs. Actually Buck was worse off than his dogs – But Gonzo was darn near as bad off. Gonzo is still skittish but VERY Happy with His adopted sis Jazzie! The little gravatar Yorkie pooch was unharmed; just lost and filthy. He got back with his owners and they take good care of him.
