Pawsitive Update: Dog Recovering After Spending Days ‘Cemented’ To Florida Sidewalk

[Sugar Cookie]

A sweet pup is recovering after enduring cruel conditions on a Florida sidewalk.

Tri-County Humane shared on Facebook that the dog was found “cemented” to a sidewalk off Yamato Road in Boca Raton, Florida, for what seemed like days.

The organization said the dog, Trooper, was “completely stuck” and “left to die.”

“The smell was unbearable. There was no way a dog could have ended up like this overnight,” Tri-County Humane shared.

After hours of grooming and shampooing, Trooper was beginning to look like himself once again, but the medical conditions he suffered were a lot for such a little dog.

Tri-County Humane stated that maggots could be seen crawling from Trooper’s fur. His nails were overgrown and had “terrible” dental decay.

According to the animal rescue, after running several tests, Trooper was diagnosed with 22 medical conditions. The most severe were:

• Paralysis
• Heart murmur
• Corneal ulcers
• Enlarged prostate
• Worms
• Severe periodontal disease
• Ear infections
• UTI

There’s something super amazing about knowing you had a part in saving a life. One of us in particular has about a hundred pictures of Trooper taking his first unassisted steps. We are proud to say today after 24 hour care for the last four months, Trooper has been adopted.
