This dog still has faith in humans, even after this abuse--this dog has more class than most humans could ever have. How about we gather a posse together and find the coward(s)that did this. God Bless this dog and the people that took the time, effort, and money to rescue and care for it.

What a Heart-string-tugging story. Thank goodness for divine intervention to rescue the dog and doctor her back to health. Thank goodness for sweet and caring people who do things out of the kindness of their hearts and not always for the paycheck. And thanks for sharing.

I would like to thank all who helped in this case. This is a very sad story that ended up with a good ending.

OMG what a sweet dog! Those ex-owners claiming ignorance should be prosecuted. If as they say, a nieghbor did it, there would be a gun shot hole in the trailer or evidence of a break in. Also, why didn't they try to get her back? Losers!

Bless you all

I experienced tears when I read thru this story. To shoot an animal and leave is beyond cruel. I hope the police find the person responsible.

The article said that there were bloody dog prints outside of the home. So, the poor thing had to have been outside and maybe put into the home after she was shot. The couple that owned her, and left her, should be prosecuted. You might leave a cat for a couple of days with food, water and a litter box, but not a dog.

Thank you to everyone who helped this sweet pup. I adopted my second dog from a rescue organization and I have never met a more loving, sweet animal. I don't understand how someone can hurt a defenseless dog like this. Cowards.

I've always thought that the punishment should fit the crime, literally.

Very simple, anyone who does this to defenseless animal should be slowly tortured for weeks and then burned alive.

I'm glad to hear this dog got a good home...
I hope the pile of chit that shot her dies a slow and painfull Death.

This is felony animal cruelty.

Animal cruelty is a precursor to the horrific, sociopath behavior found in people like Jeffery Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy.

It's well worth the public funding for the D.A. to pursue the perpetrators of this crime and get firm sentencing. The next victim may be a human.

I would also like to send a very special thank you to Dr. Rasmussen, the orthopedic specialist, and her staff. She is also donating all her surgeries and treatments.

How about we do a little CSI checking of all the weapons of the Owner and the neighbors also check their hands for power residue as well?

NoBS

Hold the owner that let the dog suffer accountable. Same as a kid if it happens on your watch it should be your tail if it goes bad.
