Vets said the dog had been lying in his own waste for so long, he had literally been glued to the ground.
Sheehan said Trooper was in such bad shape when he was brought in, she thought he was dead.
"He was covered in fecal material, burrs, even maggots," she said. "He had a lot of wounds on his skin, long nails that when we cut them, basically pus came out."He also has a heart murmur, ear infections, ulcers in his eyes, and a slipped disc in his back which has left him unable to walk.She estimates he's about 10 years old and is a Pekingese mix.
Sheehan said Trooper has been responding exceptionally well, not just to the treatments but also to all the love and attention."I think it's good. I think he's a trooper," she said. "That's why we named him that."
