When we’re hungry, we go to our kitchen or (if you’re like me) have a fast food place whip something up for us in a jiffy. Our animal friends don’t have that luxury and rely on us to provide the basics they need to survive.
This poor pup, however, was abandoned and left to fend for himself in Queens, NY. He was discovered curled up in a field, severely emaciated and in need of immediate care.
Warning: the photos of his incredibly thin frame might be too graphic for some.
The kind stranger who found him brought the sweet boy to a nearby shelter, but they didn’t have quite the necessary means to treat his extreme case.
They decided to contact Adopt a Boxer Rescue, who were able to provide more proper care.
And despite his tragic condition, the cutie couldn’t help but wag his tail with joy.
Rescuers weren’t sure the pup, now going by Brewster, would be able to make it through the night.
But the tough fella wasn’t giving up.
They began feeding him slowly every two hours and providing him with nutritious fluids.
Brewster still has a long road ahead of him, but he’s getting stronger every day.
And he’s totally loving life with his new foster family!

While he continues to recover, his former owner, who allowed him to starve over a three-month period, has been arrested and charged with a felony for animal cruelty.
