Pawsitive Update: Injured Puppy Was Found Covered In Bruises & Cuts Tied To A Pole In Snow

Heart-breaking footage shows the moment an injured puppy lets out terrified howls as its rescuer tries to save it from an ice-cold lane.

The dog was found covered in bruises and cuts as it shivering next to a pole in snowy St Louis, Missouri.

But Donna Corbin, from Stray Rescue of St Louis, planned to save the poorly pooch.

'This poor soul completely broke our hearts in two, she wrote on Facebook. 'He was shivering and screaming in fear.'

She approaches him from her truck on the snow-covered road, offering comforting words with each step.

The puppy begins to whimper as she walks towards it and lets out screeching, terrified howls as it looks away.

Donna repeatedly says 'it's okay' to try to reassure the dog but stops walking to stop it barking.

The footage cuts to Donna creeping up to the animal from behind as it continues its husky yelps.

At this point, the dog's shrieks reach a deafening pitch as it struggles to decide whether to flee or submit to Donna.

But it allows her to slip a pink lead over its head and stands up to face her.

Still unsure, the dog continues to whimper but in its mixture of fear and relief its bark dies down.

Surprisingly, as soon as Donna and the dog get in her Jeep, the pup relinquishes all fears - wagging its tail and licking its rescuer.

Weezer was sent to a medical foster home following his rescue where he is expected to heal before being adopted.

'He's so happy he wouldn't stop kissing his new foster mama Syl!'

I watch a lot of dog rescues on YouTube and have seen a lot of them like this. Most calm down as soon as they realize the person is not wanting to hurt them, but some take months to learn to trust.

Glad puppy found some love. Now he/she can heal.

Would love to see the asshole who did this tied up naked, beaten and freezing.

He's so ham-some with his bowtie!

(Niece #3 used to say 'ham-some' instead of handsome. It was adorable! "Auntie Rie, Magum's (Magnum PI) ham-some!' I miss the days when everything out of her mouth was adorable, lots of changes between 2 and 21!
