On January 4, 2009, I received a very distressing plea for help from a good Samaritan in Lebanon, TN. There was a fire
in an abandoned home, and when she went to take a closer look, she found a pit bull who was apparently chained to the back
of the house and had been burned by the fire. Even though Barbara - our good Samaritan - was a little frightened of him (she
admitted that it was due to the breed reputation and not because of anything he did), and she couldn’t leave him to
fend for himself. I am so very thankful that Barbara designated herself as his guardian angel.
I took JoeJoe to my vet, and EVERYBODY in the office just fell in love with him. He had burns on the pads of his feet and
inside both his ears. He also had some small burns on various places on his body. The biggest concern is that Dr. Copeland
found that JoeJoe has an infection in both eyes which he thinks was caused by being so close to the heat of the fire.
JoeJoe is doing incredibly well, and he is such a little character. He is up to 43 pounds and is just the sweetest
little guy! Pretty soon he'll be ready to start his brand new life... maybe it will be with YOU!!
