Family Wanted To Euthanize Their Injured 10-Year-Old Dog Because He’s “Too Old”
Sidewalk Specials came across Harvey in De Doorns, South Africa, after neighbors reported that he had been attacked by vicious stay dogs days prior, leaving him with deep wounds, writes ilovemydogsomuch
Instead of getting him help and caring for him, his owners didn’t want him any longer and wanted him euthanized due to his “old age.”
But Harvey is only ten years old and still has a lot of life left in him.
Sadly, his wounds are infected and he has tick bite fever, but both are being treated and he is now in good hands. Harvey is expected to make a fully recovery and he is in good spirits, despite what he’s gone through.
Even though his family didn’t want him anymore, he is better off without them.
At his previous home, he was kept on a chain 24/7, which became embedded in his neck. He is feeling much better now that he is free.
Harvey is good with both dogs and cats, and loves going for walks and cuddling on the couch.
