Tommy is a beautiful puppy who unfortunately has no chance to be happy, the years go by without knowing the beautiful sides of life. I am dying without knowing that kindness also exists, I am living on borrowed time.
He had set a date to go to sleep but wouldn’t wake up, it would happen on January 13 of this year, couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by sadness just thinking that his life might have ended like this, but suddenly things change, the call for help received a wonderful and hopeful response.
Tommy was rescued, really when it happened not much was known about his history, he was alone, emaciated, his ribs were visible, sadly you could see his body marked by scars and wounds, on the side of his neck he had a large abscess that spread to his face. Her look at him spoke of abuse, trauma and desolation!
Patti Dawson, director and executive board member of Dallas DogRRR , said the organization’s veterinarians had confirmed that Tommy had indeed been used as dogfighting bait.
We can imagine the cruel conditions that Tommy has had to go through when he was used to train fighting dogs, it is most likely that they had him tied to a post or tree, with his mouth covered with adhesive tape, some dogs were filed their teeth, so they have no way to defend themselves.
But something happened while he was living that borrowed time, an angel interceded for the expected miracle to take place, the request for help to save this noble two-year-old pit bull came true.
Tommy told us with his eyes, with his behavior that he had lost the battle of life!
When Jennifer Brooks, President of Second Chance Rescue NYC (USA), saw his photo, she knew she had to do something for this dog.
“I knew he was a dog that had never had a good day in his life,” Jennifer said.
“Knowing that Tommy was going to die…put to sleep after all that horrible abuse and lack of love literally broke my heart. We want to give Tommy the opportunity to know what love is. We want him to feel safe and secure, and for him to know that he’s never going to be hurt again , ” Jennifer said.
In order for Tommy to be transferred to New York, he would have to be stable to be able to travel, worried about his health and due to medical recommendation, he should wait and they would need someone to give him refuge in Texas, before he was strong enough, he went there Dallas DogRRR volunteer Kerry Anechiarico volunteered to care for him days before his move, she was happy to have him recover and give him some comfort.
He was terrified by his past!… He has no idea that his life is going to be new and better.
The physical wounds will heal, but the emotional ones are very difficult, Tommy has a chance in life… To be happy!
His signs of progress are slow, and they appear when he makes eye contact, when he turns to help trying to get guidance. Unbelievable! … he didn’t know how to get on the sofa, he tried to do it, at first you couldn’t touch him.
It’s a pity that there are still places where dog fights take place and these little animals suffer horribly, need to stop, animal lovers must share, help raise awareness. awake.
