Charlotte, North Carolina –The story of Paddy is a sad one – but there is a happy ending! Thedog was found tied to a tree in catastrophic condition, and one of his hind legs had to be amputated a short time later. Nevertheless, the brave three-legged friend never gave up and is hardly recognizable today.
As the Humane Society of Charlotte recently announced on Facebook, Paddy was discovered last year by employees of the animal welfare organization outside their entrance.
“Paddy was found tied to a tree at the front of HSC. Staff saw him when they arrived that morning. His fur was so overgrown and matted that no one could see what was happening underneath,” they said in their Facebook post.
A broken leg also came to light, and as a result, the underweight dog had to undergo an operation – amputation was unavoidable…
