Careless owners, basically. He was horribly abused by the neighbors - beated, shot with a BB gun, and attacked by their pitbull. He stayed the night with us on his way to NY and just broke my heart. He had a bad skin infection and horrible ears. He may be the sweetest thing I've ever met and I just love seeing how far he's come in such a short time. Being with Jane's family is definitely a match made in heaven!!he is wonderful, and I bet he feels a million times better already. I missed the story on this boy...what sort of situation did he come from?
