He Was Used As Bait Dog, Chained To Fence As Infection Seeped Through His Body
Stray Rescue of St. Louis received a call regarding a dog who was tied to fence in someone’s backyard, writes ilovemydogsomuch
When rescuers arrived, they were appalled to see the condition of this dog, who had clearly been used as a bait dog.
He had severe bites all over his body, face and legs, and his face was so swollen that he could barely open his eyes. The infected wounds were left untreated for weeks and he had become septic. The poor dog was left chained up alone to die.
Rescuers rushed him to their clinic, where he spent months on an IV, and received antibiotics and ’round the clock care to nurse him back to help.
The dog, now named Marco, proved to be a warrior. Although it was a long road to recovery, he made it!
Despite everything he has been through, he still loves and trusts humans and looks to them for love.
He has since found a loving home with other doggy siblings who he loves to play with. His dog-fighting days are now long behind him, and although he will always have the scars, his past certainly won’t define him.
He now spends his days curled up on the couch with his new family, or running around in his big backyard with the other dogs.
