Before
PETA found him—and gave him proper food, medicine, and love (as well as a bath
and a haircut!)—Larry was locked alone in a dilapidated backyard wire-mesh
hutch, hidden behind piles of junk. His fur was matted with filth, and he
suffered from hookworms, life-threatening anemia, and infections in his ears,
eyes, and foot. He barely had the strength to wag his tail, and when PETA took
him to a veterinarian, she expressed shock that he was still alive.
Larry
the tiny shih tzu shares the story of his dramatic rescue, relaxing in the arms
of his new guardian: a PETA staff member who showers him with the affection he
never had.
