    A local lady alerted us to the situation. He had been abandoned and tied up. We got the usual story about him being vicious. I’m not quite sure how he is still alive (2/8)

    He is very very sick. We can tell from his teeth he is probably about 7-8 years old (5/8)

    He has sores all over his body from the concrete. He has maggots in both ears from infections. His blood results are horrendous. He also has an infection the size of a tennis ball behind his ear. He is in agony but also so gentle (6/8)

    It’s a very sad story but when he woke up this morning he probably thought nobody was ever coming to help… (7/8)

    I decided to call him Frank because one day I hope he’ll look like a little healthy Tank. We’re going to have to be very patient with him but the comeback starts here we hope 🤞🤞 (8/8)
