The dog sacrificed himself to save the owner’s life, almost lost his life
One dog was in the face of overwhelming challenges, yet he keeps getting stronger. Libre was discovered to be critically underweight and clinging to life on July 4 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. While residing on a farm, he was "cared for" by a breeder. Libre was eventually placed with Speranza Animal Rescue when a woman who noticed the youngster and sent a picture of him to the rescue group saw how bad the pup's condition was. The woman was ordered to take Libre to the veterinarian after his breeder handed him in. Libre was a Boston terrier, but he didn't look anything like one. At just 7 weeks old, he was identified as having severe demodectic mange, as well as a number of secondary diseases that left him crusty and hairless. He also had sores in his eyes, the rescue team reported, and had maggots buried deep within him. His chances of living were extremely slim. Doctors thought that Libre's rescue wanted to let him go and that it would take a miracle for the pup...
