I was working on my computer transfer and found these old photos of my dog Jack. His owners dropped him at our vet and told them to put him down and left. He was a year old and had all the bones in his front lower legs broken. The vet had fixed his bones but it didn't take. We took him to a specialist bone vet who had the equipment and fixed him up good. Cost us 3K.
The vet's assistant told us later that Jack's owners were known to them from previous police contacts. They had two devil children who tortured dogs. Shortly after we got Jack they were caught dumping two brutalized dogs and banned from owning dogs for life, and the boys were put under Child Services supervision. Jack just got lucky.
After all the .... he had been through he had an amazing personality. Smartest dog I ever had too,
He died a year ago at the age of twelve. Woke up one morning throwing up blood. Turned out he had swallowed something and the blood loss had done too much damage to his heart and organs.
These pics are from the first day we had him. He walked on his back legs for the first couple of months and he was still in a state of perpetual excitement about life.
RIP Jack
